Thank you for being part of the 1st OT-Europe Congress!
The 1st Occupational Therapy Europe Congress have been co-organized by the Polish Association of Occupational Therapy and Occupational Therapy Europe, which brings together 3 largest European organizations dealing with occupational therapy: European Network of Occupational Therapy in Higher Education (ENOTHE), Council of Occupational Therapists for the European Countries (COTEC) and Research in Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science (ROTOS).
We are extremely proud that this meaningful event took place in Poland, where occupational therapy has a very long tradition. The 1st OT-Europe Congress was for us not only support in promoting modern occupational therapy in Poland, but also a great opportunity for Polish occupational therapists to exchange professional and scientific experiences with colleagues from other European countries.
The host city of the 1st OT-Europe Congress was not chosen by chance. Kraków, with over 1,000 years of tradition, is the second-largest city in Poland and the country’s historical, scientific, and cultural capital. It is also one of the three Polish cities where future occupational therapists have the opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s degree and, until now, the only one where they can earn a master’s degree in occupational therapy.
On behalf of the Polish Occupational Therapy Association and Occupational Therapy Europe, it was our great pleasure to welcome everyone connected to occupational therapy to our Congress. We were delighted to meet you all in Kraków, a wonderful place to engage in science and enjoy Polish culture and cuisine.

Congress Venue
“ICE Kraków Congress Centre”
The ICE Kraków Congress Centre is the business and cultural flagship of the city. Located in the very heart of Kraków, it is a convenient place for the organisation of diverse events: from international congresses, conferences, symposiums and business meetings, through cultural events such as concerts, opera, theatrical and ballet performances, to social meetings.
By public transit? By bike? By your own car? By taxi? Or maybe by plane? The ICE Kraków Congress Centre is located in the very heart of Krakow, opposite the Wawel Castle, next to one of the main transport hubs. You can reach the venue by car from Krakow Airport, train and bus stations, as well as from any other part of Krakow.
The Congress Centre is surrounded by a special traffic hub, including ground-level car parks, a bus stop, bicycle parking and a two-storey underground car park for 335 cars.
With environment in mind, we recommend using the services of public transit. The nearest stop can be found only 50 meters away from ICE Kraków.
