Venue

This year's venue is in Tuscany, Italy after four previous years in Oxford. The goal of this change is to keep the event as energised and innovative as possible and to attract attendants from all over the globe.

 

Accommodation: SOS 2014 will occupy the whole Villa Mariolina Grande, which consists mainly of double and triple rooms. The standard capacity is 34 people.

Transport: Villa Mariolina Grande is between the historical cities of Florence and Arezzo. We recommend either to fly to Florence Airport, or to take a night train Vienna to Florence, or Zurich to Florence. There are also many low-cost carriers flying to Pisa.
