Venue
The current COVID-19 situation in Austria would allow hosting the conference in Graz. Thus we are planning for a physical conference with remote participation options. The situation is being monitored and the conference might be organised as a hybrid or online conference if needed.
Graz is the capital city of the province Styria (Steiermark), with 280.000 plus inhabitants Austria’s second largest city. The old town of Graz is one of the best-preserved in Europe and was awarded World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2000. In 2003 Graz was European Cultural Capital, which boosted a lot of developments in the city. Some of them have certainly set landmarks, such as the spectacular Kunsthaus (Art Museum) or the Island in the Mur river.

The conference will be held at Hotel Weitzer, located in the centre of Graz, just a few steps from the historic old town.
