General information
Welcome to Graz, Styria, Austria!
Mid-September – amidst the local harvest season with very agreeable climate and with the surrounding nature in one of its most beautiful states of the year – is an ideal time to visit Graz. Graz is the capital of the Province of Styria and, with about a population of about 300.000, Austria's second largest city. The unique old town of Graz was awarded World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1999 and was the European Cultural Capital 2003.
CLM 2025 will be held at the University of Graz which hosts around 30.000 students of all disciplines and is, together with the other universities in town, a main contributor to the appealing "Graz way of life" atmosphere so hard to forget for those who got to breathe it.
The assembly takes place in the Geography & Mathematics Building of the University of Graz, Heinrichstrasse 36 >> site map (meeting rooms, Graz) & WiFi info
