VENUE
The conference will be held at the University of Neuchâtel, located in the heart of the city of Neuchâtel. The canton of Neuchâtel is one of the six French-speaking cantons in Switzerland. The city of Neuchâtel lies on the shores of the largest Swiss inland lake at an altitude of 430 metres, located between the Jura Mountains and the Alps. Ideally located half-way between Zurich and Geneva, Neuchâtel is an ideal place for high-level research work, in an idyllic setting at the heart of Europe. Additional information about Neuchâtel, accommodation, and conference venue are available online, http://www.unine.ch/rmc10
