Location:

The conference will be held at Notre Dame University in Zouk Mosbeh (18 km north of Beirut), a lovely place squeezed between the Mediterranean sea and the cavernous Jeita Grotto which is one of the most impressive subterranean displays of stalactites and stalagmites of the planet. ICARAME11 offers the opportunity to explore Lebanon with its legendary hospitality, natural and touristic sites, and its delicious food; it is indeed a unique place to visit. The area offers some of the best of Lebanon in hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, theaters, art galleries, and sand beaches.
