Tirana, the capital of Albania, is a vibrant city with a rich history and a dynamic present. Nestled between mountains and the Adriatic coast, Tirana has transformed from a historic Ottoman town into a thriving metropolis that serves as the heart of Albania’s political, economic, and cultural life. Legend has it that the city’s name is derived from the word Theranda, referring to the debris that ancient rivers brought from the surrounding mountains. The city was officially founded in 1614 by Sulejman Bargjini, an Ottoman ruler, who built a mosque, a bakery, and a hammam to serve travelers and locals alike.
Today, Tirana is known for its colorful architecture, bustling streets, and a blend of historical and modern influences. Its transformation over the past few decades has been remarkable, with bold urban planning projects and cultural revitalization efforts. The city’s lively squares, such as Skanderbeg Square, serve as the heart of public life, while the iconic Pyramid of Tirana stands as a symbol of the city's evolving identity. Visitors can explore its vibrant arts scene, enjoy traditional Albanian cuisine, and experience a thriving nightlife. Tirana is also a gateway to Albania’s breathtaking natural landscapes, making it an exciting destination for both cultural exploration and outdoor adventures.
In May 2025, the Conference will be held in this energetic and welcoming city, offering attendees the chance to experience the unique charm of Tirana while participating in an enriching academic and professional event.
