Visit Stavanger

We wish to welcome the European Conference in Information Retrieval to the city of Stavanger.

Stavanger is located on the southwestern coast of Norway, in the Norwegian fjord region, offering some of the most majestic and spectacular scenery in the world. Surrounded by mountains, beaches and the sea, the city is truly a unique destination for meetings, events and conferences. Stavanger’s intimate and mostly pedestrian city centre, with its old town and medieval harbour makes for a charming atmosphere.

This conference locale offers a safe and politically stable environment with natural beauty and cultural heritage to explore and enjoy. In addition, recent exchange rates have made Norway a more economical destination to visit. Over the past 30 years, Stavanger has acquired a strong reputation as an accomplished host for a variety of international events. A dynamic university, a university hospital, and various international research centres make the Stavanger region a competent and interesting host for conferences and exhibitions.
