The IAHS 2014 Congress will be held in Funchal, at the Portuguese Madeira Island. Madeira Island is one of Portugal’s most appealing destinations and well-known by its mild climate all around the year. The island’s location in the warm subtropical climate of the Atlantic, the volcanic mountainous relief, and the rich historical heritage contribute to a remarkable advantage of Madeira Island.
You can enjoy the historical monuments and enchanting gardens in the capital of Funchal, or go for a hike and explore impressive volcanic caves, rugged coast lines, beautiful natural beaches and, last but not least, breathtaking views. Additionally, you are invited by the ocean to go sailing, fishing, whale & dolphin spotting, water skiing, surfing, diving and, of course, swimming (sea temperatures vary between 18 to 24 ºC). In fact, there is so much to visit and profit that you will soon realize that one visit to Madeira just isn’t enough!
The IAHS 2014 Congress will take place at the VIDAMAR RESORTS MADEIRA, located in the south coast of the island and only five minutes away from the centre of the city of Funchal. VIDAMAR RESORTS MADEIRA has a contemporary style with elegant décor and spectacular view over the Ocean. By staying at this Hotel you will not need to take any transportation to attend the Official Programme of the event and during the conference breaks you may share the comfort of your spacious modern rooms with balconies overlooking the ocean and beautifully gardens.
On the accommodation section you will find a Registration Form with special arrangements prepared for the participants.
