Welcome to beautiful Zurich (or Zürich, /ˈzjʊərɪk/, in Swiss German), the largest city in Switzerland lying at the northwestern tip of Lake Zurich. The city is embedded between two forested hills and spreads across the two rivers Limmat and Sihl. Here you find more facts about Zurich's history, culture and sightseeing.
The congress will be held at the main building of the University of Zurich, Switzerland. The University of Zurich is located next to the old town in the city centre. We are pleased to announce that we will be located in the Aula of the University of Zurich where Winston Churchills landmark speech was issued September 19, 1946. The University of Zurich is one of the leading research universities in Europe and includes seven faculties, from law, business, economics and informatics, to theology, arts and social sciences and the veterinary medical faculty as well as the faculty of science and medicine.
