Venue
The Conference will be held in Padova which is one of the most charming and dynamic cities in Italy. The city centre boasts a wealth of fine medieval, renaissance and modern architecture; here a fascinating mix of historic and new, of centuries-old traditions combined with metropolitan rhythms creates a unique atmosphere. The medieval palaces, churches and cobbled streets emanate a sense of history and culture, the shops, markets and locals, a sparkling vitality and vibrant modern life.
It can be reached very easily by car and train. The nearest
and by far the most convenient airport is Venice "Marco Polo",
40 kilometers East of Padova. Other smaller airports near Padova are Verona
and Treviso.

to get to Padova" link.
The Conference will be held in the "Aula Emiciclo" of the Botanical Garden of the University of Padua, via Orto Botanico 15, Padova.
Over the centuries, the Garden of Padova has placed itself in the middle of a widespread network of International relations, by exerting a deep influence upon the research and holding a leading role in the exchange of ideas, knowledge, plants and scientific material. On the basis of such considerations, in 1997 it has been inscribed on the World Heritage List as a cultural good. In fact it exhibits an important interchange of human values, within the cultural area of botany sciences (criterion ii of the Operational Guidelines for the implementation of the World Heritage Convention) and bears an exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition (criterion iii).
