Mathematical Aspects in Non Equilibrium Systems

From Micro to Macro

Erice, October 30th - November 4th, 2024


Local Info

During seven centuries (XIII-XIX) the town of Erice was under the leadership of a local oligarchy, whose wisdom assured a long period of cultural development and economic prosperity which in turn gave rise to the many churches, monasteries and private palaces which you see today. In Erice you can admire the Venus Castle (XII century), the Cyclopean Walls (800 B.C.), the Pepoli Turret (1872 A.D.) and the Gothic Cathedral (1300 A.D.). Erice is at present a mixture of ancient and medieval architecture.

Climate
As Erice is situated on top of a mountain at an altitude of 750 metres, it is much cooler than at sea level. Therefore, we would advise you to bring some warm clothing, and a windbreaker or anorak; the weather is rather unpredictable in Erice and the temperature can suddenly change.
