We have limestone cliffs in the north, lake-studded hills in the south, a 3,800-km-long coastline perfect for yachting, over 2,000 islands, and many sandy beaches. Wetlands almost entirely surround Estonia and its mainland is covered with mires and their remnants \u2013 peat bogs (totaling 22.3% of the mainland).\u00a0Therefore, Estonia is the second best place after Spain for bird watching in Europe.\u00a0We have a low population density and 4<sup>th<\/sup> urban air quality in the world. There is always clean water for swimming and drinking. The clean environment also produces pure food. It is a very good environment for living.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span class=\"media-element file-default\" data-file_info=\"%7B%22fid%22:%2241329%22,%22view_mode%22:%22default%22,%22type%22:%22media%22%7D\" title=\"It's your turn to live the #EstonianWay\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"file-icon\" src=\"\/profiles\/openscholar\/modules\/os\/modules\/os_files\/icons\/video-x-generic.svg\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yout-ube.com\/watch?time_continue=3&amp;v=GHFm3YlCc5M#biogeomon2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">It\u2019s your turn to live the #EstonianWay<\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMany Estonian traditions are recognized by UNESCO\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tTallinn\u2019s medieval Old Town\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tKihnu Island\u2019s lifestyle\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tV\u00f5rumaa\u2019s smoke sauna traditions\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tthe Estonian Song and Dance Celebration\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tthe Seto leelo singing tradition\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tStruve\u2019s Geodetic Arc\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tWest Estonian archipelago\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tTartu \u2013 city of literature\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\tTallinn \u2013 lonely planet named the \u201eBest Value Destination\u201c for 2018\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"439\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57\" src=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/2395_streets_of_tallinn_old_town_toomas_tuul_74160.jpg\" title=\"2395_streets_of_tallinn_old_town_toomas_tuul_74160.jpg\" alt=\"Streets of Tallinn old town\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/2395_streets_of_tallinn_old_town_toomas_tuul_74160.jpg 639w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/2395_streets_of_tallinn_old_town_toomas_tuul_74160-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"390\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-58\" src=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/234_tallinn_old_town_rasmus_jurkatam_59771.jpg\" title=\"234_tallinn_old_town_rasmus_jurkatam_59771.jpg\" alt=\"Tallinn old town\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/234_tallinn_old_town_rasmus_jurkatam_59771.jpg 639w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/234_tallinn_old_town_rasmus_jurkatam_59771-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\">\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEstonia is a most digital society in the world. 99% of state services are online, and the country is covered with fast 4G internet. All hotels and most restaurants\/caf\u00e9s offer free WiFi. Estonia is the world\u2019s first country to also function as a digital service. Our unique approach is to offer a variety of state services to people outside of Estonia. Register a company online, digitally sign and exchange encrypted documents, conduct secure online bank transfers, and make tax declarations electronically.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn 2005, Estonia became the first nation\u00a0to offer internet voting in a nationwide election. Estonia is the first country to offer e-Residency, a government-issued digital ID available to anyone. E-Residency offers the freedom to easily start and run a global business in a trusted EU environment. Since 2014 more than 53,000+ people have applied for e-residency and established more than 6800+ companies.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"426\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-59\" src=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/212_business_in_estonia_rasmus_jurkatam_45847.jpg\" title=\"212_business_in_estonia_rasmus_jurkatam_45847.jpg\" alt=\"Business in Estonia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/212_business_in_estonia_rasmus_jurkatam_45847.jpg 639w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/212_business_in_estonia_rasmus_jurkatam_45847-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"426\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-60\" src=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/2726_e-residency_digital_id_card_kit_e-residency_69606.jpg\" title=\"2726_e-residency_digital_id_card_kit_e-residency_69606.jpg\" alt=\"e-residency\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/2726_e-residency_digital_id_card_kit_e-residency_69606.jpg 639w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/358\/2726_e-residency_digital_id_card_kit_e-residency_69606-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\">\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:7.5pt\">\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before or after BIOGEOMON 2022\u00a0you are most welcome to explore Estonia Official name: Republic of Estonia Population: 1.3 million Area: 45,227 square km Currency: EUR Official language: Estonian Member of: EU, Eurozone, OECD, NATO and Schengen All information about visiting &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":345,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/biogeomon2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/biogeomon2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/biogeomon2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/biogeomon2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/biogeomon2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/biogeomon2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":604,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/biogeomon2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13\/revisions\/604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/biogeomon2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
