This was the largest EASA yet: 15 labs, 3 film/AV streams, 150 panels, 1300 papers, 12 publishers and over 1550 delegates. Yet the event retained its traditional warmth and friendliness, even in the face of a new and uncertain future. The University of Milano-Bicocca is a new university, established in 1998. The campus stands on the northern edge of Milan, which was entirely occupied by the Pirelli industrial complex until the late 1980s. As a modern and spacious campus, it was the perfect nest for academic discussions, visual programmes and Laboratories.
