11th Euro Fed Lipid Congress and 30th ISF lecture series
"Oils, Fats and Lipids: New Strategies for a High Quality Future"
Antalya, Turkey, 27-30 October 2013

[updated 14.08.2012]

Dear Reader,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of 11th Euro Fed Lipid Congress we have the privilege of welcoming you to Antalya.

This meeting will be another great opportunity to discuss various aspects of lipids with people from Europe and beyond in the beautiful Mediterranean city of Antalya. In this specialized scientific gathering, delegates will have the chance for fruitful discussions on state-of-the-art knowledge and applications in wide a range of lipid related disciplines.

The congress will address 16 different topics on fats and oils and the venue will give ample opportunities to network with professionals from academia and industry. Discussions on scientific and technological developments in fats and oils, special sessions relating to olive, palm, rapeseed, sunflower, marine, microbial and microalgae oils, processing and process related problems, health and disease issues associated to lipids, sustainability, and many others will take place during this congress.

We will meet in a city that attracts over 30 million international visitors per year. Antalya is known world wide for its sunny beaches and numerous historical sites such as Aspendos, Myra and Perge. It is a popular tourist destination throughout the year and has average temperature of 26°C in October.

We look forward to welcoming you to world famous Antalya for the 11th Euro Fed Lipid Congress from 27th to 30th of October 2013.

    Aspendos
    Perge
    Kursunlu Aspendos or Aspendus was an ancient Greco-Roman city northeast of Antalya. It is known for having the best-preserved theater of antiquity. With a diameter of 96 meters, the theater provided seating for 7,000. The theater was built in 155 by the Greek architect Zenon, a native of the city, during the rule of Marcus Aurelius. It was periodically repaired by the Seljuks, who used it as a caravansary, and in the 13th century the stage building was converted into a palace by the Seljuqs of Rum. The Aspendos on occasion features open air performances during the warmer months.

    Perga (Perge) was also an ancient Greek city in Anatolia and the capital of Pamphylia. Today it is a large site of ancient ruins 15 kilometres east of Antalya on the coastal plain. An acropolis dating back to the Bronze Age can be seen loacted there. During the Hellenistic period, Perga was one of the richest and most beautiful cities in the ancient world, famous for its temple of Artemis. It also is notable for being the home of the renowned ancient Greek mathematician Apollonius of Perga. Perga is an archaeological garden which is a must to see for everyone interested in cultures. Marvel at the perfect acoustic and the architecture of the Aspendos theatre.

    A refreshing and pleasant stay is waiting for you at the Kursunlu waterfalls.

    Antalya

    [updated 06.08.2012]



    The province of Antalya is located on the Mediterranean coast of south-west Turkey, between the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean sea. In summer, it is the centre of Turkey's tourism industry, attracting 30% of foreign tourists visiting Turkey. It features a shoreline of 657 km with beaches, ports, and ancient cities scattered throughout, including the World Heritage Site Xanthos. During autumn and winter the numerous hotels with congress centers cater for congresses and other events, as well as training camps for professional sports teams. Antalya's airport is the second largest in Turkey.

    The provincial capital is Antalya city with a population of 775,000. Antalya is the fastest-growing province in Turkey; with a 4.17% yearly population growth rate between the years 1990-2000, compared with the national rate of 1.83%. This growth is due to a fast rate of urbanization.
    Kaleiçi, the restored historical center of the city -with its hotels, bars, clubs, restaurants, and shopping- retains much of its historical character; its restoration won the Golden Apple Tourism Prize. The city sites show traces of Lycian, Pamphylian, and Hellenistic architecture and cultures - but also mainly Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman- architecture and cultures. Cumhuriyet Square, the main square of the city, on occasion features temporary open air exhibitions and performances.
    It is uncertain when the site of the current city was first inhabited. Attalos II, king of Pergamon, was believed to have founded the city around 150 BC, naming it Attalia and selecting it as a naval base for his powerful fleet. However, excavations in 2008 have uncovered remains dating to the 3rd century BC, suggesting that the city was founded earlier than previously supposed.

    Antalya became part of the Roman Republic in 133 BC when King Attalos III of Pergamum willed his kingdom to Rome on his death. The city grew and prospered during the Ancient Roman period and Christianity started to spread in the region after 2nd century. Antalya was visited by Paul of Tarsus, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles: "From Perga, Paul and Barnabas went down to Attalia and sailed from there to Antioch after preaching in Pisidia and Pamphylia" (Acts 14:25-26).
