About Lucca

Lucca and its surroundings are rich in history and, at the same time, open to the future. This medieval Tuscan city has maintained its characteristic streets, piazzas, churches and buildings over the centuries. The Renaissance city walls and the natural amphitheater of the hills beyond unite in a perfect blend of nature and the work of man. Beyond the hills, the beaches of Versilia and the mountains of Garfagnana are uniquely attractive thanks to the variety of their landscapes and their accessibility. Lucca has good connections to other larger towns, to cities and other university centers of the region, and it is close to both Pisa and Florence international airports.

The school will take place at the state-of-the-art campus of IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca in the newly restored San Francesco Complex, located in the historic city center of Lucca. IMT Lucca a public graduate school and research institute that focuses on the analysis of economic, societal, technological and cultural systems.

Hotels in Lucca

As the month of June is a very busy month for tourists in Lucca, the hosting institution has contacted a number of local hotels and B&Bs to reserve some rooms at a discounted price. Please mention that you are a participant at the oCPS PhD School in Cyber-Physical Systems at the IMT School for Advanced Studies to receive the discounted price.

Many of the reservations will expire soon, and hotel rooms are limited, therefore you are strongly advised to book your room as soon as possible. Furthermore, there is a major concert in Lucca on June 14^th and therefore hotel rooms may be especially hard to find on this night.
