University of Defence headquarters are deployed in Brno, precisely in the building in Kounicova Street characterized by its concave shape that had brought its nickname of „Rohlík“ in Czech, which means a typical crescent-shaped bread roll. The choice was rather more deliberate than accidental as from the year 1951, the building housed the Military Technical Academy, the Military Academy’s predecessor. Today, it is the address of the headquarters of the University of Defence and two of its faculties.

The conference venue is the main building of the University of Defence (Kounicova 65, 662 10 Brno, Czech Republic). The University of Defence is concurrently the guarantor and protector of national military traditions. In those terms, the University plays the role by organizing regular commemorative meetings and events as well as by spreading history awareness and learning new knowledge. To aid military traditions, the university cooperates with many civic organizations and associations or their local branches, such as Czechoslovak Legionnaires Community, Czech Freedom Fighters Union, Czech War Veterans Association, Ludvik Svoboda Community, Czech Air Force Association, Czech Union of Support Technical Battalions – Military Forced Labour Camps, Czech Political Prisoners Confederation military section and Czech Military Rehabilitated Persons Association, and also the Military Retired Persons Club at the University of Defence and Jan Kubiš Airborne Veterans Club Brno.

The conference venue is the University of Defence Club – Šumavská 4, 662 10 Brno.
