— Green Meetingsthe ideal location for your Sustainable event

Events such as conferences, conventions, and courses have an effect upon the environment. Participants commonly have to travel over long distances, leading to increased carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, huge amounts of paper, water, and electricity are consumed. As a green meeting organizer, the EURAC convention center is committed to the responsible use of natural resources for the good of the environment. We consult with our clients with regard to travel that does not damage the environment, we arrange accommodations within walking distance, we provide digital conference facilities, and we avoid plastic, serving drinking water in glass pitchers, just to name a few examples. In this way, we are also successful in limiting expenses involved in the events.

Green reSeArCh

EURAC research has been conducting studies since 1994 in

the areas of sustainability and renewable energy. The EURAC convention center makes use of scientific achievements to consistently implement the principles of the green meeting.

Green BuilDinG

The EURAC headquarters were conceived in such a way as to keep damage to the environment and energy costs as low as possible. The double glass façade stores the heat of the sun in the winter, while in the summer, the radiant energy is captured between the glass faces. Not only does the 400 sq. m. (4,300 sq. ft.) solar installation heat water, it also cools the ambient air during the warm season with the help of an absorption refrigeration machine. A pleasant working climate is provided by ergonomically furnished workspaces and seminar rooms, computers with high-quality screens, and ideal lighting conditions.

— Bolzano / BozenGateway to the Dolomites

Where Mountains and City Blend into One

Located in the midst of stunning mountain scenery, the city of Bolzano/Bozen combines a medieval town center with all the comforts of the modern world. This is where North meets South. The bilingual provincial capital of South Tyrol is singularly European. German culture blends with the Italian zest for life of the Mediterranean, and a Wienerschnitzel or a steaming plate of pasta can be washed down with a hearty Hefeweizen or a refined red wine and topped off with a foamy cappuccino. The warm sunshine reigns, yet towering, snow-capped Alpine peaks are close enough to touch.

Some highlights of Bolzano/Bozen

Art AnD Culture

The “Ötzi” museum with the famous Iceman, the fresco-covered Runkelstein Castle, the Messner Mountain Museum, the South Tyrol Jazz Festival, the TransArt contemporary culture festival, the Tanzsommer dance festival, the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra festival, the Busoni piano competition.

loCAl SpeCiAltieS

The Terlan Asparagus Festival, local wineries and fine dining, Törggelen (mountain farmhouses around Bolzano/Bozen serving traditional freshly grilled meats, roasted chestnuts, and sweet, half-fermented grape juice), the thermal baths in Meran/Merano (30 minutes away)
