Poland is located on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea and as such is endowed with more than 500 kilometers of the coastline. Szczecin is located in the north-west sector of Poland, south of the Szczecin lagoon which is part of the Oder River estuary, draining into the Pomeranian Bay of the Baltic Sea. Szczecin, with nearly 500,000 inhabitants, is the capital of Western Pomerania province and is situated in the vicinity of three European countries: Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The historical and cultural milieu of the city originates from over thousand years ago and has been shared by several nationalities. Large parts of the city architecture go back to the last half of the 19th century, bearing striking resemblances to Paris, which was re-constructed by the same architect. Furthermore, the diverse city landscape is marked with the large harbor, many sail piers, parks and a beautiful secession downtown. The parks and squares in Szczecin are planted with many varieties of magnolia that bloom in spring as well as rare tree and bush species.

The University of Szczecin, founded in 1985, and with over 30,000 students is the biggest university in the city and in Western Pomerania. One of the university’s departments is the Faculty of Geosciences, which includes the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences. Specializing in marine and coastal research, the institute was founded in 1991. It will celebrate its 20th activation anniversary in 2011. Therefore, the 11th ICS will be an excellent opportunity to present the Institute’s achievements.

The 11th ICS congress is planned to take place in May of 2011. The season in Szczecin in May is usually dry and quite warm with temperatures up to 18°C during the day.
