*Venue* --------- The conference is scheduled to take place at the *Scientific Campus of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, situated in *Mestre at via Torino 155*. Scientific sessions will be held either at the *Auditorium “D. Mainardi”* or in the *conference room “O. Zanetto”* (depending on the number of accepted papers), both located in the Alfa Building, which is the first building on the left upon entering the Scientific Campus.
*Mestre*, a district of the Venice municipality, is located on the mainland adjacent to the Venetian lagoon, directly facing the historic city islands. It is connected to the islands via the 4 km rail-road bridge known as the "Ponte della Libertà". The entire Venice municipality is serviced by AVM-ACTV *public transport*, including buses and trams on the mainland and vaporetto boats on the lagoon, providing convenient access to all destinations in the area. *Venezia-Mestre train station*, the primary station in Mestre, is approximately 2 km from the Scientific Campus and serves as a significant railway junction with connections to major Italian cities (mainly operated by Trenitalia and Italo) and various European destinations. Throughout the day, direct connections are available to Venezia-Santa Lucia train station, situated on the historic centre islands of Venice.
For those arriving *by car, parking* is available in front of the Alfa building or in the surrounding neighborhood.
*Accommodation* ----------------------- We recommend exploring accommodation options in the vicinity *between the Campus and Mestre train station*. This area offers a range of choices, from upscale hotels to more budget-friendly options. The conference venue is conveniently within a maximum 15-minute walking distance from this area. Alternatively, accommodations can also be booked in the *Venice city centre*. From there, the Scientific Campus is accessible for example by bus number 43, departing from Piazzale Roma.
