Vicenza is a town (population 115,000) 30 km West of Padua. From Vicenza it is possible to reach Venice in less than 30 min by train; the conference will be held at the Vicenza Campus of the Padua University School of Engineering. Vicenza is a thriving and cosmopolitan city, with a rich history and culture, and many museums, art galleries, piazzas, villas, churches and elegant Renaissance palazzi. The considerable cultural interest of Vicenza is linked mainly to the name of the architect Andrea Palladio, responsible for numerous famous historical buildings in Vicenza, inspired by the classical art of the Greeks and Romans, revisited to suit the Veneto culture. Palladian architecture is considered a universal value that had an enormous influence all over the world and that is why Vicenza is included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. (http://www.vicenzae.org/en/) Vicenza is both an ancient city, already important in the Roman times, and a modern city, fully open to tourism and commercial exchanges. Vicenza is well known for the good weather especially in summer, the friendly people, the excellent cuisine, and its artistic relevance. The city counts with a large and diverse offer for lodgment. The city is completely flat. Walking, cycling along the city is very comfortable. Moreover, the city has a good public transport network which will allow the delegates to come to the university from practically any point in the city.
