Located at the crossroads of East and West, Istanbul offers easy  air connections to hundreds of cities around the world and is  one of the world’s top conference destinations with its  infrastructure, modern accommodation facilities, conference and exhibition venues. Istanbul is a charming and exciting city with unique natural and historical assets set across two continents.

With a long history hosting many cultures and traditions, blending east with west and Mediterranean with Anatolian, Istanbul has served as the capital of three mighty empires for sixteen centuries: Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman, and recently has been selected as the European capital of culture in 2010.

We hope to see you in Istanbul in an exciting scientific and cultural setting.
