This building has a unique history, architecture and art collection which is visited by over 300 000 national and international guests every year. It is also the proud host of the Nobel Peace Prize.

It has developed into tradition of the EDEN Conferences to organise a *Book and Wine Party*, a gathering in the end of the first day (13 June) for the lovers of literature and good wines where they can share by short presentations their latest interesting reading experience.

The *Conference Dinner* on 21 June, with entertainment, will be organised in the famous Akershus Castle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akershus_Fortress, located in the city centre by the Oslo Fjord.

The Dinner is combined with a folklore programme at the beginning. The EDEN Best Research Paper Award will be presented at the event.
