The Workshop meetings will take place on the Campus of Aula Dei, located
17 km from the centre of Zaragoza. Zaragoza is a 2000-year-old city of
700.000 inhabitants with a very interesting architecture especially from
its Arabic period. The city is located between Madrid and Barcelona,
approximately 300 km from each. It is serviced by a few airlines and
fast and frequent trains are available from Madrid and Barcelona.
Zaragoza is located next to the Ebro river, which defines the landscape
of the ‘Ebro valley’, an important agricultural region. This is an area
of large contrasts between the irrigated valley and the arid
surroundings with little vegetation. The venues central location offers
an excellent opportunity for you to spend some extra days visiting the
two major cities of Spain, Barcelona and Madrid, with all its
interesting attractions.
Several institutions are located on the Aula Dei Campus: The Centro de
Investigación y Tecnología Agroalimentaria (CITA) (a regional Research
Centre in Food and Agriculture), a delegation of the Consejo Superior de
Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) (the main Research Institution of
Spain), the Plant Protection Service and different laboratories of the
Agriculture Department of Aragón and the Instituto Agronómico
Mediterráneo de Zaragoza (IAMZ), the latter is providing the facilities
for our meeting.
