Location

The Fondazione IRCCS SANTA LUCIA conference centre is located in Via Ardeatina, 354 - 00179 Roma, not too far from the centre of Rome. This area is linked to the centre by means of an efficient city bus service. Access to the airport is also relatively easy thanks to the nearby ring road leading to the Rome-Fiumicino highway.

The Santa Lucia conference centre (built in 1996) covers an overall area of about 2,500 square meters; this includes a 494-seat auditorium, 6 smaller rooms of about 80 seats each, as well as other spaces that will be used for the poster presentations and and exhibits.

The conference centre is adjacent to the Santa Lucia Institute, which is specialised for neuromotor rehabilitation. It serves as a private IRCCS (Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico - Scientific Institute for Research, Hospitalisation and Health Care) and was founded as a non-profit corporation. President: A. Brutti, General Director: L. Amadio, Scientific Director: C. Caltagirone. The Santa Lucia Foundation was selected in May 2002 as European Centre dedicated to the study of the human brain (European Brain Research Institute, EBRI).
