On Location
The 2008 summer institute will be centered in Maastricht,
the Netherlands. Maastricht is the oldest city in the Netherlands, and
one of the oldest in Europe; it was built by the Romans in approximately 150
A.D. Maastricht is where the Common Market Treaty was signed. It
is situated close to the borders of Belgium, Germany, France, and
Luxembourg; ideally located near Amsterdam, Cologne, Aachen, and the city of
Luxembourg.
While the Institute will be housed in Maastricht, it also
will spend two days in Amsterdam and include a visit to the Anne Frank
House, the Rijksmuseum (home of many famous Rembrandt paintings), or the Van
Gogh Museum, a guided tour through the old city, and a boat ride through the
canals. Participants can also visit the Heineken Museum (or others,
there are 37 official museums in Amsterdam) and shop in one of Europe's most
interesting capital cities. The Institute will also travel to the
eastern part of the Netherlands. In Belgium we will visit Brussels,
Ghent or Antwerp, Bruges (a wonderfully preserved medieval city), and
Leuven. The Institute will also travel to Aachen in Germany.
There will be two free days for participants to explore nearby European
cities.

THE SUMMER OF 2008 WILL BE THE LAST OPPORTUNITY
