The venue
The venue of EMCA 2025 conference will be ITM´s Rochus campus, which is an imposing seventeenth-century monastery in expressive Baroque and traditional limestone style. The name of the venue refers to Saint Rochus, the patron of sufferers of plague and infectious diseases. A wonderful green backyard (former monastery garden) of Rochus campus will be available for the participants; and partly rain protected (with an open tent) to facilitate “fresh air” communication between the conference participants under any weather conditions. The KARIBU house will be used for the reception. The gala dinner and subsequent dancing party will take place in the HORTA, which is located in the heart of the city and provides cosmopolitan gastronomy. Their Art Nouveau Hall is an architectural masterpiece.
