How to get to the Blue Cube

The campus of the Universitat Politècnica de València spans 1300 m by 400 m east of the Valencia access from the Barcelona highway. The conference will take place in the conference hall of the Blue Cube of the CPI, which is at the south east corner of campus, next to the crossing of Avenida de los Naranjos and Calle del Ingeniero Fausto Elio. The CPI building has more than 20 entries, and it is impossible to post signs pointing to geoENV2012. The Blue Cube appears, in the University maps, as building 8B, once there you can either go to the basement and look for access N and take the elevator to the 3rd floor, or go up, take the transparent lift to the 3rd floor, exit to your right and walk to the last cube.The CPI is a very prominent building that looks like a big brown shoe box (without windows) with cubes of different colors on top.

First geoENV 5K race

2011 Valencia Marathon Starting Line - Look for Jaime waving his hand at you

What is the “First geoENV 5K race” mentioned in the registration form?

We will not reach the 5000 participants nor we will run for 42 kilometers, but, as part of the social program, there will be a 5000-meter race on the old Turia river bed for those of you who accept the challenge. We will run with our geoENV T-shirts and will enjoy the nice park along the old Turia river. Walkers are also welcome.

Soon, we will publish the path of the race. Dust off your running shoes, and start training!

Special issues (in plural)

 

Valencia Museum of Science

For this edition of geoENV we have already reached agreements with two journals to publish special issues with papers from the conference. On one hand, the well established and impact factor rising Mathematical Geosciences, and on the other hand, the newly created Spatial Statistics. In both cases, all manuscripts will undergo the standard peer-review process.

The members of the scientific committee present at the conference will decide which papers are considered for submission and will choose the journal according to the scope of each manuscript.
