The venue for the symposium is Scandic Holmenkollen Park Hotel in Oslo (c. 10 kilometres from Oslo city centre). The Hotel is 350 metres above sea level and one of Oslo and Norway's most unique hotels. The hotel overlooks the city and the Oslo Fjord and the views are simply breathtaking. It is near the Nordmarka Forest and it is right next to the word famous Holmenkollen ski jumping hill.
