The conference will be held October 27-30, 2026, at Spa Vincci Safira Palms **** in Zarzis, Tunisia.
The Zarzis area and its surroundings offer a remarkable cultural richness, shaped by a crossroads of Mediterranean and Saharan influences expressed through local traditions, crafts, and a strong sense of place. The Zarzis Museum—housed in the former Notre‑Dame de la Garde church—highlights both archaeological heritage (including Punic and Roman periods) and everyday cultural artifacts linked to olive cultivation, fishing, and regional trade, which have long shaped the peninsula’s identity. Nearby, the easy access to Djerba and southern Tunisia broadens the visitor experience with additional heritage sites, traditional architecture, and artisanal know‑how, adding a cultural dimension to the conference stay beyond the scientific program.
Zarzis, located on Tunisia’s south‑eastern Mediterranean coast (Medenine Governorate), offers a calm setting with long sandy beaches and distinctive semi‑arid landscapes. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and strong local identity shaped by fishing and agriculture—especially olive groves—the city provides an inviting environment for scientific exchange and professional networking. Its position also makes it a convenient gateway to Djerba and the surrounding region, while benefiting from hospitality infrastructure suited to international events. In line with the conference focus on smart systems and green processes, Zarzis offers a relevant Mediterranean context for discussing innovation, energy efficiency, and more sustainable approaches to resource management and climate challenges.
