Location

 November is the perfect time to experience the beauty of Florence, when the city is quieter, the weather is gently mild, the soft autumn light warms its Renaissance architecture, and you can wander through museums and cobblestone streets at a relaxed, unhurried, and more intimate pace.

 The ESWW2026 venue is located in the heart of the city, within walking distance of Florence's most iconic landmarks. After a day of scientific discussions and networking, participants can stroll through the historic centre, admire the Duomo, cross the Ponte Vecchio, or enjoy a traditional Tuscan dinner in one of the city's many trattorias.

 Florence offers a unique combination of world-class culture, history, and hospitality. Home to Michelangelo's David, Botticelli's masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery, and the legacy of Galileo Galilei, the city has inspired generations of artists, scientists, and thinkers.

 Join us in Florence for ESWW2026, where scientific excellence meets the timeless beauty of one of the world's most extraordinary cities.
