Press release regarding Project Austerlitz 2005 presentation in Paris

PARIS August 20 (PROTEXT) - The representatives of Project Austerlitz visited Paris from 16 September to 17 September 2002. The project leaders met, among others, professor Xaver Galmich, who is the leading professor of the Department of Czech Studies at Sorbonne University in Paris. During the meeting they spoke about possibilities of future cooperation, mainly in scientific area, which opens to French scientists and specialists access to Project Austerlitz. The most important point of the stay was the project presentation itself. This presentation took place on 17 September 2002 in Czech Cultural Centre, which is located in a historical house in Bonaparte street. The name of the big Corsican leader seemed to predetermine the success of the whole event. The audience in the hall, which was completely full, became silent and started to pay attention when uniformed people started the presentation in the sound of army drums. The organizers then presented the whole project idea during a spectacular audio-visual presentation. The participants were very interested in the efforts of organizers to make the Slavkov (Czech Republic) area more lively and to search possibilities how to make the future international cooperation deeper and closer. The audience, whose members were a lot of personalities, from professional historians and journalists to the representatives of travel agencies, then lively discussed about the Slavkov battle site for nearly one hour. Then followed the exhibition of the photographs of Jan Sroubek. Company Vino Marcincak organized Moravian wine tasting. The project representatives gathered a lot of new contacts and offers for cooperation. To sum up the stay in Paris was very successful. As Miroslav Jandora, the project leader said, a further step to fulfil the project aim was made. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Czech Cultural Centre in Paris, which made this presentation possible, for really professional cooperation.
