The workshop will take place at the “Congressi Stefano Franscini” (CSF), the conference centre of the ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal School of Technology) located at Monte Verità Ascona. This conference centre has a campus-like structure, comprising a hotel, conference halls, restaurant and park, just a 15-minute walk from Ascona. It is located in Ticino, the main Italian speaking region of Switzerland, located in the southern rim of the Alps, in the turistic Ascona-Locarno region, just 9 km from the border from Italy.
The panoramic view of the Ascona village and the Lago Maggiore from the conference centre is fantastic – just like the story of the multicultural group of romantic and eccentric people from around the world who established an early hippy colony there in 1900. This spirit can still be seen today in the hotel, in the museum – and while strolling through the park.
Arriving by plane, consider that the international airports of Milano Linate, Milano Malpensa and Milano Orio al Serio are all reachable from Ticino in less than one hour.
Arriving by train the Swiss Federal Railway network FFS, links Locarno to the major European cities and can be reached directly from Basel, Zurich and Milan. The “Centovallina” Railway links Locarno to Domodossola in Italy.
Ascona is connceted to Locarno by a bus line (line 1) with a very frequent service.
