The meeting will take place in the old building at the University
of Ljubljana, in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The University of Ljubljana building is
located on the site of the former Provincial Mansion. The Mansion
was destroyed in the earthquake of 1895. In 1902 a new building was
constructed on its site. Since 1919 it has been the seat of the University
of Ljubljana. The building has four different facades, two main and
two side ones, designed in the German Renaissance style with neo-Gothic
elements. The balcony above the main entrance is known as a place
where numerous eminent political figures made their appearances on
historic occasions. Other remarkable features of the building include
a large inner courtyard, a small park with a fountain adorned with
France Kralj's statue of Europa in front of the main entrance, numerous
portraits of eminent university professors, and a clock turret surmounting
the facade facing the Vegova ulica street. |
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is a dynamic Central European city
lying at an altitude of 298 m above sea level in a broad basin between
the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Ljubljana is full of
surprises, characterised by a unique fusion of complementing contrasts.
Legend has it that Ljubljana was founded by the Greek mythological
hero Jason and his companions, the Argonauts.
Four major European geographic regions meet in Slovenia:
the Alps, the Dinarides, the Pannonian plain, and the Mediterranean.
The result is
beautiful picturesque scenery including mountains, lakes,
rivers, waterfalls, forests, vineyards, thermal springs, caves and seaside!
This offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and leisure.
