conference Venue

The conference will take place at Valencia (Spain). The conference venue will be the Vera Campus of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), located to the north of the city in a peaceful setting that borders with traditional farmland. It has 60 buildings arranged in an orderly manner around the Agora, which is the centre of life on campus. There are over 108,000 square meters of green spaces that house an open-air museum of sculpture. All academic activities of the congress will be held in this campus. Some of the main points of the campus during the conference are:
  • Place used for plenary sessions: Paraninfo (Auditorium of the UPV, building 3A).
  • Places for parallel sessions: Different conference rooms along the university. One of the rooms for the parallel sessions will be left free, so that the delegates have a space where they can finalize their presentations, check their emails and, in general, to be able to work in a quiet way. All these rooms are close (less than 5 min walk).
  • The restaurant for lunches: La Vella Restaurant, inside the university. This restaurant has an experience of more than 25 years in catering for congresses and conferences. Coffee-breaks will be served at the exit of the conference rooms during the different planned breaks. Lunches will be served in the restaurant itself which is located very close to the rooms hosting the sessions and conferences.
  • Conference secretary. Registration will be just in front the Paraninfo of the university.
