Conference Venue
The 2026 conference will take place at the prestigious Palais de l'Europe in Menton, a jewel of the French Riviera nestled between mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. The venue is easily accessible from Nice International Airport, making it convenient for international participants.
According to the poet Elysée Reclus Menton is the “Pearl of France”. Menton is well known for its temperate weather and gorgeous gardens. From the “old city” with its facades in ochre shades and baroque style churches, to the “belle époque” buildings and gorgeous hotels, Menton displays a rich architecture with the bright blue of the Mediterranean in the background . The Palais de l’Europe is a historical landmark built in 1909, a witness of the charm of the Belle Époque style.
The conference will take place in the “Salon Grande Bretagne” (Great Britain), second floor.
