Venue: Siófok, Hungary.
Siófok (www.siofok.hu) is the largest holiday resort on the southern coast of Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe, also called the ‘Hungarian sea'. Siófok is a popular destination for domestic and international tourists in Hungary, therefore the Kodolányi Campus is ideal for studying and organizing conferences as well as enjoying all kinds of aquatic sports.
Two beautifully renovated 19th century hotels accommodate guests, professors and students. The city is popular for its touristic sights: the Imre Kálmán museum for music, the large collection of minerals, the Millenium Park and the busiest port of Lake Balaton. The beach offers a wonderful opportunity for swimmers and sunbathers.
We are looking forward to welcoming you at Kodolányi University and making this a very enjoyable occasion!
