why Tartu? Tartu is the second largest city in Estonia and the oldest in the Baltic States. It is economically well-developed and has great historical heritage. Tartu has huge potential and all of the advantages it needs to become one of the most important conference tourism centres in Estonia. Here are some reasons why you should pick Tartu as your next destination.

Tartu is an education and research centre of Northern Europe since the 17th century. In 1632 the University of Tartu was established and today Tartu is well-known as Estonia´s intellectual capital. Through its scientists, Tartu is represented in numerous international organizations and Tartu University is in top 3% of the world´s best universities!

Tartu is also Estonia’s centre of medicine and science. It is home to the 200-year-old University Clinic, the largest complex of hospitals and laboratories in the country. It is no wonder that Tartuhas a tradition of organizing medical and biotechnology conferences. For example, the Estonian Genome Project (EGP), a research venture of the University of Tartu, is the third biggest such project world. The conferences that have taken place in the city have also played host[S3] to Nobel prize laureates.

Tartu is a fast developing and competitive city. Two-thirds of Estonian biotechnology companies and some of the largest Estonian software companies are based in Tartu and it has long traditions and high competence levelsin electronics, engineering, ICT and biotechnology. Of well-known international companies, Tartu is home to Zero Turnaround, Fortumo, Plumbr and Tarmetec. Other innovative initiatives include Buildit Accelerator and Smart City Lab, an electronic and mobile services development cluster where stakeholders include companies, research institutions and the city of Tartu.

The culture-rich Hanseatic city Tartu is a modern city with a rich historical heritage and culture. It is the cradle of the Estonian Song Festival, Estonian national theatre and the Estonian state; the intellectual capital of the country, where national awareness and culture were born. The city is also famous for its international events – Tartu Marathon, Tartu Hanseatic Days, Rally Estonia etc. More than 4000 events and festivals are held here during throughout the year – so you are sure to find something for everybody!

5. Tartu is also known for its numerous museums,

which also carry on the idea of Tartu as a city of research and science. Science buffs can also make their acquaintance with the subject at the specialised Tartu museums such as the Ahhaa Science Centre, the Tartu University Museum and the Tartu Observatory, the Estonian National Museum, and in many places around Tartu County, such as Tõravere Observatory.

Tartu is a green, safe city where the lively bustle goes hand in hand with natural beauty. Besides many parks and hiking tracks, 11 km of one of Estonia’s longest rivers – the Emajõgi (Mother River) – flows through Tartu, offering visual beauty as well as many opportunities as a recreational waterway and event venue.

Tartu is a compact city and has a walking culture, which means that you can easily get from one point to another by foot. No need to use public transport: just stroll across Town Hall Square to your conference venue, hotel or wherever it is you need or want to go! It’s also worth visiting Tartu’s historic neighbourhoods – Supilinn and Karlova districts and Toome Hill, the latter being the site of the first settlement.

Tartu is an ideal place for conferences attended by 100-500 delegates, but it can accommodate gatherings with up to 1,000 delegates. The largest venues are Vanemuine Concert Hall (959 delegates), theatre Vanemuine (700), Dorpat Conference Centre (560) and Tartu University´s Assembly Hall (470). In addition, the Universiy of Tartu and University of Life Sciences buildings offer very many modern halls for up to 500 delegates. The city has all of the necessary lodging, dining, entertainment and other services for a successful conference.

9. Tartu is the capital of southern Estonia. Within

several hours’ drive lie very distinctive regions that are worth discovering – windows on Estonian culture, history and natural heritage. One such place to visit is Setomaa– an ethnically and linguistically unique region, where the small local community still cling to their language, customs, cuisine, folklore and traditional folk costume; or the Onion Route – the region of Russian Old Believers, where three different cultures and histories – Estonian, Russian and German – mingle and offer you unforgettable emotions. You will find many interesting ideas for your pre- and post-tours in Tartu and South Estonia.

King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden founded the University of Tartu under the name of Academia Dorpatensis in 1632, in honor of which the university was also called Academia Gustaviana. The university stopped to function as a result of the Great Northern War. It was reopened in 1802 as Kaiserliche Universität zu Dorpat, which made a significant contribution to the development of natural sciences, medicine and other sciences in the 19th century. In 1919, the university opened its doors as the first Estonian university in the world. As a national university, the University of Tartu has promoted and preserved Estonian national culture up to the present day and shapes the international reputation of Estonian education. Over 17,000 students study at the University of Tartu. The most significant fields of research at the University of Tartu are molecular and cell biology, gene technology, immunology, pharmacology, chemistry, biochemistry, laser medicine and environmental technology. The University of Tartu is a guardian of Estonian national culture and promoter of Estonian education being internationally renowned for its scientific research and development. Universitas Tartuensis deals with theoretical and applied sciences offering academic degrees in conformity with European traditions. The University of Tartu can boast of its rich historical architectural heritage being in the first place among educational establishments of Estonia with its 150 period buildings (30 buildings outside Tartu), which have shaped the ancient townscape of Tartu and attract tourists; 14 buildings are protected by the state as architectural monuments.

In 1951 an independent university - the Estonian Academy of Agriculture - was founded comprising the University faculties of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Science. The Estonian Agricultural Academy was directly subordinate to the Soviet Union Ministry of Agriculture and prepared specialists in different fields of agriculture from agronomists and animal breeders to experts in the electrification of large farms. Work continued in this way until the end of the 1980s. From 1991 our educational institution was called the Estonian Agricultural University. New specialities like Environmental Protection, Landscape Architecture, Production and Marketing of Agricultural Products, Landscape Protection and Preservation, Applied Hydrobiology, Environmental Economics and Natural Resources Management were adopted. Since 2005 the Estonian Agricultural University has a new structure

and name. Teaching and research is carried out in five institutes: Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences, Institute of Forestry and Rural Engineering, Institute of Technology and Institute of Economics and Social Sciences and called The Estonian University of Life Sciences. Estonian University of Life Sciences is the only university in Estonia whose priorities in academic and research activities provide the sustainable development of natural resources necessary for the existence of Man as well as the preservation of heritage and habitat.

Of course, there is more to admire than just its facade - there is its dignified interior, including a restaurant and café. Villa Margaretha is the gateway to the suburb of Karlova and its traditional wooden architecture.

This elegant and luxurious hotel opened its doors in March 2009. The building is distinguished by architecture from the end of the 19th century and crisp romantic interiors. The Antonius suite on the first floor makes every meeting a truly dignified event. Enjoy a private and cosy atmosphere and elegant service. The combination of the ancient vaults and the glass atrium creates an enjoyable atmosphere for training sessions, seminars and larger meetings. Customers who reserve the restaurant have the entire lower floor at their disposal and event participants can enjoy total privacy. Seminars conclude with a formal dinner with gourmet foods and Old World wines.

IDEAS for INCENTIVETOURS in TARTU and SOUTH ESTONIA Tour on The Old Postal Route and Setomaa Languages: EST, ENG, RUS, FIN Organizer: South-Estonia DMC, www.southestonia.ee, info@south-estonia.ee

The historic Tartu-Võru-Pihkva postal road leads a different life today than it did hundreds of years ago, when it was used to deliver post to Pskov in Russia. However, its atmosphere remains in the renovated postal taverns and museums. One old postal inn is now a handicraft workshop, where everyone is welcome to try their hand at making different things. There are several museums along the route that provide an overview of the history of the area. Our farthest destination along the route is Setomaa – a unique ethnic and linguistic region. The culture of the Seto people emerged under the influence of two other cultures, from east and west. The Seto language,

its customs, cuisine, folklore and traditional costumes have all been preserved by the small local community. This day-trip includes transport, museum admission, the handicraft workshop, local food and traditional song or dance performances.

Arts and crafts workshop in St. Anthony’s Guild

Languages: EST, ENG, RUS, GER, FIN Organizer: University of Tartu Art Museum, www.ut.ee/artmuseum, kunstimuuseum@ut.ee

Languages: EST, ENG, GER, RUS, FIN, SWE, NOR, FRA Webpage: www.antonius.ee, antonius@antonius.ee

The Art Museum of the University of Tartu organises guided tours of the main building where visitors can step into the beautiful Neoclassical assembly hall, the 19th century student lock-up and the art museum. Visitors to the assembly hall, a space designed for observances of the most important events at the university, can enjoy one of the finest classicist interiors in Estonia. The guide will tell fascinating tales of the past illustrating the university’s storied history and introducing the construction of the main building in the early 19th century. The student lock-up, which dates also from the 19th century, is an historical gem that offers sharp contrast for those coming from the stately assembly hall. This small cell in the attic bears witness to the university’s long history. In this cell, students in the 19th century would serve punishment for violations of the university’s code. Today, this part of the tour introduces the university’s laws from that era, which might now seem large, and the guide will talk about what life was like in the lock-up. The university’s art museum introduces the history of the museum, which was established in 1803, and highlight various objects of note in the permanent exhibition. The tour lasts about an hour, and shorter tours in the main building can also be made if desired.

St. Anthony’s Guild is an arts and crafts centre in the Old Town of Tartu. It offers you the chance to take part in creative workshops such as porcelain-painting, glassstaining and leather art. Choose the workshop you’re interested in and make your own masterpiece! The price includes instruction by professional artists and all materials.
