The IV International Workshop on: “Neutrino Oscillations in Venice

16th of the series “Un altro modo di guardare il cielo”

 

will take place in Venice, April 15-18, 2008 at the “Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti”.

The aim of the Workshop is to review a wide range of subjects in Neutrino Physics, Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology, both from an experimental and a theoretical point of view, giving to experimentalists and theorists the opportunity to discuss the impact of the most recent results and to chart the direction of future research.

 


 

Conference Site

 

Please, take note that the Workshop will be held at “Palazzo Franchetti”, the “Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti” second premise, one of the most noteworthy buildings in Venice right next to the “Palazzo Loredan”, the Institute historic home since 1809. In the picture below you can see Campo S. Stefano, Palazzo Loredan and Palazzo Franchetti. The location of the Palazzo Franchetti in the very heart of the city, the site and complexity of its spaces, its noble architecture and its garden overlooking the Grand Canal make it a modern Conference Center with all the necessary services.

 


How to reach the “Palazzo Franchetti

“Palazzo Franchetti”  is located in Campo S. Stefano near Piazza San Marco.

For those arriving by plane at Marco Polo Airport which is located about 13 km from Venice the easiest way to reach Venice is by sea.

ALILAGUNA is a public water taxi company which offers a service (the Lancione) that goes from the airport  to "Calle  Vallaresso", near Piazza San Marco,  which is at a walking distance from the "Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti". The crossing takes abt. 1 hour 10 minutes. The Lancione connects more or less with all flights. The ticket for this boat (Lancione) costs € 12,00 and can be purchased at the ALILAGUNA taxi stand at the end of the arrival hall (opening hours: from 8 am to 11.30 pm).

For the timetable, please, see: www.alilaguna.it

You can also take a private water taxi from the airport directly to your final destination (the cost is abt. € 90,00/100,00).

 

From the airport you can also take a public Bus (ATVO),  Line 35  (the cost is € 3,00)

(for the timetable, please, see: www.atvo.it/orari/pdf_airport/mpolovenezia.pdf ) or a land taxi to Piazzale Roma (the cost is abt. € 30,00) and from there catch a public boat (Vaporetto) to the stop closest to your final destination (see details in the next paragraph).

For those arriving by train at the Railway Station or by car at the parking garage at Piazzale Roma (see map) there are several possibilities. To go directly to the "Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti" one can take the Vaporetto, Line 1 or Line 82 (every 10 minutes from 7:00 until 21:00; every 20/30 minutes afterwards) to the stop Accademia. From there one has to cross the "Ponte dell'Accademia" and walk more or less directly to Campo S. Stefano.
