The programme starts on Monday 23 October
at 09.00 to end at Wednesday 25 October at 19.00.
The opening session of Monday morning 23
October 2006 will be held at the University of Salamanca,
the oldest University in Spain, founded in 1218 by
King Alfonso IX. The University has always dominated
life in Salamanca. It is therefore appropriate that
it serves as the starting point for TopFuel 2006.
|
The
heart of Salamanca University is on Calle Libreros
1 - the main building called Escuelas Mayores,
which boasts a magnificent façade completed
in 1533 in the so-called Plataresque style,
a 18th century library, and a series
of authentic historical lecture rooms where
famous Spanish scholars have addressed their
students throughout the centuries. It is in
one of these lecture rooms that the TopFuel
conference programme will take off - in the
16th century Paraninfo, the hall
which is still used for all official University
events and celebrations. |
Following the morning session, the delegates
will have a walking lunch on the first floor of the
courtyard gallery.
The technical tracks, starting from Monday
afternoon 23 October 2006, will take place at the Conference
and Exhibition Centre of Castilla and León located
on Cuesta de Oviedo (off Plaza San Bartolome), a 10
minute walk from the University
