The 20th anniversary congress of the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) was held last year for the first time in a former Eastern Bloc country – in the Czech Republic, at Prague Congress Centre. The fact that EANO selected the Czech Republic for its anniversary meeting is a testament to the long-standing work of Czech neuro-oncology and its firmly established position within the European landscape. The patronage of Charles University and the City of Prague underlined the scientific and social significance of the event.

In April, the Congress Hall was transformed into a setting for an exceptional and almost intimate musical encounter. American music legend Paul Simon performed three evenings here as part of his A Quiet Celebration Tour, offering audiences a very different experience from what is usually associated with large-scale concerts.Instead of spectacle, the 84-year-old singer-songwriter chose intimacy, concentration and detail.

In April, leading international experts in autism research gathered at Prague Congress Centre. Over four days, the prestigious annual congress of the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) 2026 offered an extensive professional programme featuring lectures and discussions on research, the latest findings and studies, as well as new ways to improve the lives of people on the autism spectrum. “Prague Congress Centre exceeded our expectations in several respects,” says INSAR Executive Director Chalise McClaran in the interview.
