The conference banquet will be held at Casa do Leão, a restaurant installed in the heart of Lisbon St. George’s Castle. The castle is located on the top of a historic hill with breathtaking views over the city and the Tagus River.
Saint George's Castle, which can be seen from almost everywhere in the city, dates back to the 6th century, when it was fortified by the Romans, and later by the Visigoths.
It served as a Moorish royal residence until Portugal's first king Afonso Henriques captured it in 1147 with the help of northern European crusaders on their way to the Holy Land.
Buses will be provided to all participants, and will leave the IST Campus by 19:00.
The banquet, a tasteful sample of Portuguese cuisine, will be preceded by a welcome drink outside the restaurant (if the weather conditions allow). After the banquet the Best Student Paper award ceremony will take place followed by the presentation of next iWAT edition venue.
