Venue

The meeting will take place at the Auditorium of the Bizkaia Aretoa Building of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). This venue offers a large auditorium with 441 seats and a few exhibition galleries, where poster sessions, coffee breaks and sponsors stands will take place to ensure high visibility of the different activities.

Bizkaia Aretoa has constructed surface area of over 9,000 square meters, spread over six floors. It is located in one of the most emblematic parts of Bilbao. L-shaped, it opens out onto the estuary and the Guggenheim Museum, right in the centre of Avenida Abandoibarra, between the Padre Arrupe footbridge and the bridge known as the Puente de Deusto.

It is an emblematic building, designed by the architect Álvaro Siza, who has prioritized “maintaining the scale of the environment, respecting cornices and promoting a ground floor at the service of the pedestrian, open and visually permeable to the interior and with wide overhangs that integrate the private space in the public and vice versa”.
