Venue
The meeting will take place in the new Mendel's Green house located in the historical premises of Augustinian Abbey. The construction of the original Cistercian cloister began in 14th century. In 18th century, the cloister was transferred to the Augustinians. One of the most famous resident and religious leader of the Abbey was the geneticist and abbot Johan Gregor Mendel, who conducted his scientific experiments in the greenhouse in monastery garden between 1856 and 1863. In 2002, the Mendel Museum has been established to nurture the legacy of Johan Gregor Mendel and to present his famous scientific work. In 2022, the new Mendel Greenhouse was built on the foundations of original Greenhouse, where Mendel performed his experiments. The new Greenhouse copies the original floor plan and orientation.
