The 2019 DWF conference was held at the Brunico-Bruneck campus of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, located in the heart of Val Pusteria, Alto Adige-South Tyrol, and at walking distance from Plan de Corones Ski Lifts.
For experienced and avid skiers, the area offers numerous ski slopes options that include World Cup runs of Val Gardena and Val Badia, and can extend as far as to Cortina d’Ampezzo olimpic ski runs.
