Is Poland a safe destination?
We are aware that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine may raise concerns about safety and travel plans for those attending the congress in Krakow, Poland. However, we would like to reassure you that several official sources, including the European Union – Travel and Safety Information and the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have consistently stated that Poland remains a safe destination for travel.
Poland is a member of the European Union (EU) and NATO, and the Polish government has implemented robust security measures to ensure the safety of its population and visitors, especially in major cities like Krakow, which is located far from the eastern border with Ukraine.
We are confident that Krakow will provide a safe and enriching environment for all participants.
