VENUE The workshop will be held on the campus of the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands.
Enschede is a pleasant and relatively small city in the east part of the Netherlands, close to the German border. Enschede's convenient geographical location accounts for its important role in the economy of the region.
The University of Twente is one of the three technical universities and the only real campus university in the Netherlands. While the landscape of Twente in general is renowned for its beauty, the university campus is probably the loveliest 146 ha of the whole region. The forested campus, embellished with modern architecture, forms a unique environment for student life, sports and study.
