GLIWICE:

   Gliwice, situated in Upper Silesia (the south-west part of Poland),
the most heavily industrialized region of Poland), is one of the
oldest
cities in the region and in Poland. Gliwice came into being in the
second part of the thirteenth century at the crossroads of former
trade
routes, leading from Moravia and Bohemia to Scandinavia and from
Eastern to Western Europe. At the turn of fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries the town of Gliwice became notably fortified to reinforce
the
security of the town.
   Politically, Gliwice was under the domination of the Polish Piast
dynasty. In the sixteenth century the town experienced the pleasures
of economic boom. At the same time the town of Gliwice came under
the reign of the Habsburgs until 1740. As a result of the Wars over
Upper Silesia between Austria and Prussia in the years 1740-1763,
Prussia captured this region.
   The outbreak of the Second World War is connected with the
history of Gliwice, since it was here, on 31st August 1939, that the
broadcasting station was raided by an imaginary troop of Polish
soldiers - an "incident" claimed by the Nazis as provocation leading
to
the outbreak of war.
   Today the population of Gliwice is over 200 000. In the post-war
period the town of Gliwice has become a great, centre of science and
of modern industry, full of vitality.

How to get to Gliwice?
" AIR
The closest international airport is in Katowice (20 miles from
Gliwice),
the others are in Cracow (70 miles) and Wroclaw (100 miles).
The main international airport is in Warsaw which has connections with
major European and overseas cities. There is a direct train service
(INTERCITY trains) between Warsaw and Gliwice.
" RAIL
Gliwice has direct train connections with a number of cities in Europe
i.e. Berlin, Leipzig, Munich, Frankfurt, Kijev, Lvov.
Many other cities i.e. Budapest, Belgrad, Prague, Vienna, Varna,
Burgas
have direct train connections with Katowice, a city 20 miles from
Gliwice.


THE SILESIAN TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY:

    The Silesian Technical University was formally established in May
1945 just after World War II was over.
    The majority of professors who joined the teaching staff in the
academic year 1945/46 had formerly been working in Lvov (Leopolis).
The programmes of the academic courses were almost identical with
those at the Technical University of Lvov. In this sense the Silesian
Technical University can be regarded as a successor of the Polish
Universities in Lvov, mainly the Technical University of Lvov.
    Established to meet the needs of the main industrial region of
Poland, the Silesian Technical University has developed into the
second
largest technical university of the country. From the beginning it has
been concerned with the education and training of engineers and
scientists in various fields of technology, who have contributed con-
siderably to the growth of the region as well as of the whole country.
    At the present time the Silesian Technical University consists of
twelve faculties. One of the youngest and the biggest is:

    Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science

The Faculty was established in 1963 as the Faculty of Automatic
Control, being formerly part of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering.
 From the beginning its research staff has been involved in the
development of control theory and modelling and control of industrial
processes, promoting the introduction of control systems to a variety
of industries of the region. The rapid growth of electronics and
computer systems created the need for further specialization within
the
Faculty, which resulted in establishing separate institutes of
computer
science and electronics. The institutes have become considerably
independent, carrying out individual courses of study and research
programmes. At present the research activities of the Faculty can be
divided into four broad areas:
- electronics (electronic equipment, microelectronics, electronic
  equipment for telecommunications systems, biomedical electronic)
- automatic control and robotics (automatic control, robotics,
  measurement systems)
- computer science
- telecommunications


CRACOW:

     Cracow, the former capital of Poland, has been the coronation,
residence and burial place of Polish kings. It is situated in the
south of
Poland on the River Vistula.
     The first mention of Cracow dates back to 965. The first traces
of
settlement date back several thousands of years. Gradually, Cracow
gained prominence among Polish cities and in the 11th century became
the official capital of Poland.
     Cracow was endowed with municipal rights in 1257. In the 14th
century, Cracow became the city of royal coronations and burials.
Under the rule of Kazimierz Wielki (Casimir the Great) a generous
patron of arts and science, the city developed and expanded. In 1364,
the King founded the Cracow Academy which, after Prague's, is the
second oldest University in Central Europe.
     In the 15th and 16th centuries, known as the Golden Age, Poland
and Cracow flourished. Many artists and scholars settled in Cracow.
It was there that the greatest sculptor of Medieval times - Wit Stwosz
created his masterpiece: the altar for St. Mary's church. The famous
astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus perused his studies at the Academy
of Cracow. Splendid Italian architects work there creating the
Renaissance image of the city.
     In 1609, King Zygmunt Waza the Third moved his residence to
Warsaw. Throughout the 18th century, Cracow was repeatedly
besieged, conquered and pillaged by Swedish, Russian, Austrian and
Prussian armies. In 1795, when Poland lost its independence, Cracow
was incorporated into the Austrian domain.
     Since the regaining of Polish independence in 1918, Cracow has
remained an important centre of culture and science.

How to get to Cracow?
"AIR
Cracow has direct air connections with a number of cities in Europe -
Paris, London, Rome, Cologne, Frankfurt.
There is a direct train connection between Warsaw (where Poland's
main international airport is situated) and Cracow.
"RAIL
A number of European cities have direct train connections with Cracow
e.g. Lipsk, Berlin, Budapest, Bukarest, Kijev, Lvov, Frankfurt. Many
other cities have direct train connections with Katowice and Warsaw.
