Trip

The scientific programme of the conference will be complemented by an optional two-day field trip. We will explore Tirana’s urban sprawl and then delve into Albania’s mountainous periphery with a boat trip on lake Koman, visit small former communist new towns such as Fierza, Reps or Rubik as well as the regional centres Prizren and Kukës. We will stay overnight in Valbona Valley, make a flying visit in Kosovo and head back to Albania.
