Denmark
Denmark is a small Scandinavian country situated in the middle of Northern Europe. With a population of 5.5 million people the country is relatively small. What Denmark lacks in size, however, is more than made up for in strategic location, political stability, and quality of living, culture and education.
Demark has I mild climate with 4 seasons. When ESSAM is held it is summer in Denmark. The Danish weather is much more like the weather in London or Amsterdam than that of the other Scandinavian capitals, but Denmark's northern location means that summer days are long and lovely - which always seem to impress ESSAM participants.
