Venue

The school will take place in the charming town of Brixen-Bressanone, near Bozen-Bolzano in South Tyrol at the heart of the Dolomites - the pink mountains of the Alps. Like Bozen-Bolzano, Brixen-Bressanone has always been a crossroads of various cultures and it is distinguished by its mediaeval Gothic architecture. The mediaeval alleys and the wealth of historical references are an ideal starting point for excursions into the countryside and for practising a whole variety of sports and leisure activities. Leaving directly from the town centre delegates can set off on their bikes or on foot for excursions into the surrounding hills and mountains. Brixen-Bressanone is on the main arterial road between Austria/Germany and Italy and it is easily accessible from everywhere by train, car, bus or plane.

Organised by: KRDB Research Centre at the Faculty of Computer Science of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano.
