Venue - Rosendahl

The workshops will take place at Conference Hotel Scandic Rosendahl. This is where our workshops are held and which is also our accomodation recommendation for the seminar.

Rosendahl is surrounded by unbelievably beautiful scenery. Rosendahl is ideal for those who love to keep fit and to be outdoors, surrounded by the tranquillity of nature. Yet the centre of Tampere, with all its attractions, is just a two kilometres beatufiful stroll away.

Rosendahl is situated on the shore of Lake Pyhäjärvi and on the slopes of the Pyynikki ridge, the highest gravel ridge in the world. The Pyynikki ridge is one of Tampere's most remarkable natural areas of beauty and the city's most important recreation area.

The City of Tampere

The Workshops will be held in Tampere, Finland. The city established in 1779 between two lakes on the banks of the Tammerkoski Rapids by King Gustavus III of Sweden. Tampere is Finland’s second largest city, but it still manages to feel like a small town. Finns consider Tampere the country’s best tourist city. Tampere’s image as a tourist destination ranks the highest, both in general impressions and in individual features. The city has a long history of traditional industrial production – pulp, paper, textiles, and many other products. Today’s post-industrial Tampere has 200,000 inhabitants and is a dynamic centre of research, technology, education, culture, sports and business.
