Green Location

The Faculty of Natural and Life Sciences at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg offers an exceptional academic event venue, nestled amidst the picturesque city mountains of Salzburg. Surrounded by lush green spaces, its very own botanical garden and the adjacent Freisaal nature reserve, the NLS Faculty (formerly NaWi) provides the perfect setting to experience the AGIT in a truly unique atmosphere while enjoying the beauty of nature. Visitors can relax between sessions, breathe in the fresh air and soak up the sun. The harmonious blend of science and nature creates an inspiring environment that promotes both comfort and creativity.

Did you know? In summer, just 10-15 minutes in the sun is enough to meet most of your daily vitamin-D needs. Why not spend your breaks by the pond or take a leisurely stroll through the greenery?
