Conference Venue – How to Reach

The conference venue is the Faculty of Engineering of Roma Tre University which is located at Via Vito Volterra 60, I-00146 Rome.

The Venue is located in the former plant Ottica Meccanica Italiana e Rilevamenti Aerofotogrammetrici (OMI) founded in 1924 for the production of precision optical instruments for Aeronautics. During  the 2nd World war, the company assumed strategic importance, given to the predominantly military production. In December 1989 the OMI ceases to exist. After a renovation, it became part of the Faculty of Engineering of Roma Tre University.
