The school will be organized in the conference centre named La Marana, which is a holiday village of IGESA, an institution belonging to the french defence. It is located 150 km south of the French coast, on the east shore of Corsica, an island in the Mediterranean sea, offering beautiful landscapes and historical landmarks. The village is ideally placed between the sea and inland water, at 8 km only from one of the major city of the island, Bastia.
Facilities include several offices, an auditorium and outdoor garden areas with tennis courts. The venue is equipped with wifi connection. Accomodation is provided by the conference centre.
