LocationWith close to 1 million inhabitants, Marrakesh
is the fourth largest city in Morocco. It is situated in central
Morocco near the Atlas mountains. Now a center for international
conferences of all kinds, and as such resolutely modern, the city
has, at the same time, retained a remarkable local color and
atmosphere unique in the country. It is also well situated for
excursions either to the desert, the Atlas mountains and the sea. It
is within easy distance (by car, bus, train or plane) from typical
towns such as Ouarzazate,
Taroudant, Essaouira
(formerly Mogador), Casablanca
(where it is possible to visit the new Mosque, the biggest in the
world after Mecca). Sunday June 18th, an excursion will be
organized. Details will be given in the final announcement.
The conference will be held at the Faculty of Sciences
Semlalia of the University of Marrakesh. Participants will be housed
in hotels within walking distance of the University.
