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.

Slovenia has three main mountain ranges - the Julian Alps, the Kamniške-Savinja Alps and the Karavanke mountains.
The highest mountain peak in Slovenia is Triglav at 2864 m.
There are four main ski resorts in Slovenia - these are Krvavec (near Ljubljana), Rogla (in the north east), Kranjska Gora and Vogel (both in the north west of Slovenia).

Many interesting places to visit and routes to walk can be found here.
