CONGRESS SERIES
LOCATION
The conference is
organized in Torino
(Turin) at Villa Gualino (viale
Settimio Severo
63, I-10133 TORINO), that is situated in a pleasant environment atop a
hill in
the town close to the Po river. All scientific sessions will take place
in the
Villa Gualino facility that includes a conference room seating 150
people,
poster room, the conference desk, restaurant and bar. Villa Gualino
overlooks
the city of Torino but the road reaching the villa from the city is
about 3-4
kms long; so it will not be practical to leave the conference site
during the
day for meals and return in time for the afternoon scientific sessions.
There is a public bus
service (running
hourly) from Villa Gualino to downtown. Taxi service is available on
request.
Accomodation will be
provided either
in Villa Gualino, or in a variety of hotels located in various places
in the
city.
Please note that Torino is
located in
the northern part of Italy and therefore is easily accessible to other
important cultural cities such as Firenze (Florence), Pisa, Verona and
Venezia
(Venice). However, these cities are located several hundred Kms from
Torino and
several hours (4-6) of travel by train are required (good train or bus
connections are available). We encourage you to spend some additional
time in
Italy before or after the conference to visit these beautiful places,
but
because of time constrains we are not able to organize short excursions
to
these cities during the conference.
Torino is also placed very
near to the
mountains and was the capital of the Winter Olimpic
Games in 2006.
Escursions to mountains are possible and you could program a longer
stay in
Italy to spend your time skiing on our mountains. The official travel
agent of
the conference will be happy to help you in organizing a pre- or a
post-meeting
stay.
