Congress venue, bus and accomodation

The next Canceropole GSO Annual Meeting will take place at the Congress Center of Perpignan from the 20th to the 22nd of November 2024.

Salvador Dali set the Centre of the World at the Perpignan railway station !

Perpignan Centre du Monde has a rich history and an exceptional cultural heritage. From the fossils of the Serrat d’en Vaquer to 20th-century architecture, the Ruscino oppidum, the Kingdom of Majorca and the Treaty of the Pyrenees, Perpignan is a city that has been around for two millennia and has had an eventful history.
Although there are Neolithic settlements and remains from Roman times, the history of the city of Perpignan only began in the 10th century !

The geographical position of Perpignan, its historic character, its hotel capacity favor the positioning of the Congress Center among the most attractive.

Nestled in a magnificent wooded park in the heart of the city, the Perpignan Congress Center stands out with its modern and bright architecture.

Well served by the public transports, the railway station is only 15 min by walk. Several hotels of different categories are located in the immediate vicinity of the Congress Center.
