The conference was held close to Munich at the Culture & Education Center of Upper-Bavaria which is located in the Monastery Seeon. The Monastery Seeon has excellent conference facilities and a large number of hotel-style single and double rooms which ensure a collaborative spirit among the participants.
Monastery Seeon, founded in 994 by the Aribones (Earl [Pfalz]
Aribo I.), was not only considered to be a religious haven but
also center of flourishing culture, commerce and spiritual
contentions. The main purpose of life inside of the Monastery
walls was the nurturing of science and art. The former
benedictian abbey can look back on a colorful history. Popes and
Emperors granted Seeon special privileges, Seeonian patres
became carrying virtures of the Benedictian University of
Salzburg, and W.A. Mozart & Michael Haydn marked the period
of distinguished music culture. By reopening a culture- and
education center of Upper-Bavaria the original philosophy of the
Monastery has been preserved and is accessible by all public and
private institutions. The history of Seeon marked another public
milestone. This offers unique capabilities to arrange
conferences in a modern environment but keeping a historical and
cultural scope.
