The fourteenth EM Induction Workshop took place from 16th to 23rdof August, in the village of Sinaia, Romania, in the Carpathian mountains.

After analyzing the coming participants' options, as regarding the accommmodation level,it was decided to extend the number of the rooms belonging to the two and three star hotels, in order to assure the most suitable conditions for our meeting and, therefore, the conference took place in the "CASINO" - Sinaia. The CASINO is located in the Central Park of Sinaia and represents one of the smartest architectural buildings of the town. It is situated at few minutes walk from Palace, International and Caraiman Hotels, at about 10 minutes walk from Sinaia railway station, former residence of royal family (Peles and Pelisor Castles) and Sinaia Monastery. The Local Organizing Committee hoped that all the participants enjoy an atmosphere embraced by mountain nature as well as fruitful scientific discution during the meeting.
