Highlight 17 – 1 February 2010: Torino (Italy) Candidate City for the 12th IAEG INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS in 2014?

Turin is internationally well known as centre of scientific and technological excellence and hosts a Polytechnic and a University. Its territory, the Piedmont Region, is highly prone to hydrogeological instability and has large infrastructures under construction, such as a metro and an high velocity railway. In 2006 Turin was renovated to host the Olympic Winter Games and so offers several facilities and a large number of hotels with fast connections with the Conference venue, the famous Lingotto Conference Centre, which also hosts the FIAT headquarters. Turin holds a strategic position in Europe, with good connections through highways, railways and International and Intercontinental Airports.
