CONFERENCE VENUE:

The conference will be held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation 
head-office. Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation is located in the Avenida
de Berna, a few kilometers from the Lisbon Airport (Aeroporto da 
Portela), and five minutes walking from the closest subway station, 
Praça de Espanha. The foundation head-office is surrounded by a 
beautiful park (www.gulbenkian.pt/Jardins) and a museum 
(www.museu.gulbenkian.pt).

LISBON:

Lisbon, the capital and largest city of Portugal, has a Mediterranean 
climate that is strongly influenced by the Gulf Stream, giving it one of 
the mildest climates in Europe, with an annual average of 3300 hours of 
sunshine and temperatures averaging between 18ºC and 28ºC in July. The 
city is the westernmost capital in Europe, on the Atlantic coast at the 
point where the river Tagus flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

The city was elected the second travel choice for the year of 2008 by 
the New York Times:
    "Bargain-seeking tourists have long flocked to Lisbon, typically
     among the most affordable of European cities. But now the Portuguese
     capital is also emerging as a cultural force. The new Berardo
     Collection Museum, in the historic Belem district, boasts a major
     trove of modern and contemporary art. Designer hotels like Fontana
     Park and Jerónimos 8 are attracting style-savvy travelers. And the
     Design and Fashion Museum, scheduled to open in late 2008, will go a
     long way toward cementing the city's avant-garde status."

It is a beautiful city to visit:
    "Observing an odyssey of sea creatures in a state-of-the-art aquarium
     and a breathtaking view from the walls of a millennium-old castle. A
     seemingly endless modern bridge and tiny turn-of-the-century trams.
     Climbing picturesque hills by day and bar-hopping through vibrant
     cobbled lanes at night. Legendary cafés and art nouveau shops. World
     Heritage monuments and singular museum treasures. Fairytale palaces
     and sandy beaches nearby. Long dinners and an insatiable appetite
     for nightlife. Antiquated and trendy; lively and melancholic. All
     that is Lisbon. A captivating city. A soulful European capital. This
     is your guide -- Go Lisbon."
