Where

Melià Sitges.
Very close to Barcelona, in the heart of the Aiguadolç Marina, the conference hotel has excellent event organization experience. Overlooking the Mediterranean, this hotel in Sitges offers comfortable rooms and an incredible pool designed for your relaxation, as well as a fully equipped Convention Center.

Sitges lies on the Mediterranean coast just 37 km south of Barcelona, and retains the beauty and atmosphere that inspired a generation of Catalan artists in the late 19th century. From the beaches, you can see the impressive silhouette, painted so many times, of the church and bell tower of San Bartolomé and Santa Tecla, whilst the streets of the old town offer a glimpse into Catalan history.
Join us in Sitges to discover the perfect blend of relaxation and science.

COASTAL CHARM
This coastal allure makes Sitges an ideal location to combine science with leisure.
COMFORT
Sitges provides a peaceful and secure setting for participants to focus on the scientific programme, and to enjoy the social events and networking opportunities.
