Conference Venue

The conference will take place at Linnaeus University in Växjö. Växjö is the very heart of southern Sweden – in the middle of Småland. There is a lot to see, experience, and to do here – local handicraft, unique shops and world-class restaurants. If you just want to pick two things to see and do during your visit, we recommend The Swedish Glass Museum and the House of Emigrants. You can also visit Växjö´s official vistors guide for more suggestions. Midsummer, the most typical of Swedish traditions, will be celebrated the weekend after the conference.
