Conference Location

The lectures will take place in the Large Lecture Hall (Velika dvorana) in the Main University Building, on the ground floor (actually semi-basement), at Slomskov trg 15, just next to the Theatre (Slovensko Narodno Gledalisce) and Opera. See the details of the School/Conference and other locations on the map of Maribor. The capacity of the lecture hall is at least 160, and is air-conditioned. The Main University Building is a nicely renovated old 19th Century building, reopened in September 2000, in excellent shape with excellent infrastructure. There will be personal computers provided for your use during the Conference, with Internet access, especially to check and send your email.

The Main University Building is located in the central and most beautiful square of the city, Slomskov trg, with the Cathedral situated in central position, and surrounded by the historic buildings of the Theological Faculty, the National Theatre and Opera, University Library, and the central Post Office. There is a small green park inside, surrounded by many nice coffee houses offering a variety of refreshments, suitable for private discussions in small groups. Also, the Main University Building is just 8 minutes walking distance from the Hotel PIRAMIDA (which normally is the accommodation place for the invited lecturers and those participants wishing explicitly the accommodation there - the latter at their own extra expense), and also only 8 minutes walking distance from the students residence in Dijaski dom DRAVA.
