Zaragoza Workshop
3rd Circular

8th Workshop Physical and Cultural Weed Control
Zaragoza, Spain - 9-11 March 2009

Venue

The Workshop meetings will take place on the Campus of Aula Dei, located 17 km from the centre of Zaragoza. Zaragoza, a 2000-year-old city with 700.000 inhabitants, is architecturally very interesting, especially from its Arabic period. The city is located next to the Ebro river, which defines the landscape of the ‘Ebro valley’, an important agricultural region. This is an area of large contrasts between the irrigated valley and the arid surroundings with little vegetation. Zaragoza is located between Madrid and Barcelona, approximately 300 km from each. It is serviced directly by a few airlines and there are fast and frequent trains from both Madrid and Barcelona. Zaragoza’s central location offers an excellent opportunity for you to spend some extra days visiting the two major cities of Spain, Barcelona and Madrid, with all their interesting attractions.

Several institutions are located on the Aula Dei Campus: The Centro de Investigación y Tecnología Agroalimentaria (CITA) (a regional Research Centre in Food and Agriculture), a delegation of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) (the main Research Institution of Spain), the Plant Protection Service and different laboratories of the Agriculture Department of Aragón and the Instituto Agronómico Mediterráneo de Zaragoza (IAMZ), the latter is providing the facilities for our meeting.
