Venue

The Centro Stefano Franscini is located on Monte Veritá in Ascona, Switzerland, overlooking the city and the Lago Maggiore. The complex was built in the early 20^th century and enjoyed an intriguing history where it was the site of a colony of intellectuals, with visitors including Carl Jung, Paul Klee or Max Weber. Today the site is used as a conference centre owned by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.

Situated just half a kilometre outside the old town, the organisers chose this venue to combine both a well-equipped site for intellectual exchange with excellent facilities as well as arguably one of the most beautiful locations to experience a summer in Switzerland.
