The Castle of Hagenberg & Linz

The conference site is the Softwarepark Hagenberg centered around RISC. RISC, the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation, is an institute of the Johannes Kepler University in Linz. It is located in the Castle of Hagenberg, a romantic medieval castle amidst the lovely, hilly landscape of the Mühlviertel 20 km north east of Linz, the regional capital of Upper Austria, located halfway between Salzburg and Vienna.

Linz is European Capital of Culture 2009.

More information about RISC can be found on the institute website and in this folder.
