Date and Venue

The proposed date for PDC2021 is April 26-30, 2021. (However, the date is negotiable.) 

The venue of the event would be the building of Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA). The building of the Academy, inaugurated in 1865, was built coast of the Danube at a turning point in the urban and architectural history of Budapest as one of the first yet most mature and valuable historicising examples of the neo-Renaissance style.

Address: H-1051 Budapest, Széchenyi István tér 9.
There are several hotels nearby, so the location is easy to reach by public transport or by walk.
