The Institute for Wine Research, in partnership with the Samaria and Jordan Rift R&D Center stands at the forefront of Israeli high-tech in the fields of wine research and development.
The ARC Training Centre for Advanced Manufacturing of Prefabricated Housing is the centrepiece for collaborative, eco-friendly, prefabricated housing research in Australia, striving to deliver breakthrough product and process innovations that will enable the Australian housing industry to compete on a global stage.
The centre aims to unlock the potential growth of Australia’s prefabricated building industry by creating a co-operative training system between industry and universities leading to local employment growth and increased exports of prefabricated products and services.
Administered by the University of Melbourne, and led by Professor Priyan Mendis and Professor Tuan Ngo from Department of Infrastructure Engineering, the
Centre brings together a highly collaborative venture involving four universities and twelve industry partners.
This initiative, which has attracted funding of $6M over four years, including significant investment from the Australian Research Council, is testament to the critical importance of this industry in Australia, and demonstrates the value that both industry and government place in collaborative, cross-disciplinary research.

GETTING TO ISRAEL
Accommodation
Accommodation at the conference will be at international guest dormitories at Ariel University.
Transportation
Major airlines fly to Ben Gurion Airport. Once at the airport there are multiple transport modes to get to Ariel University.
1) Shuttle bus (advised)
Global Hemp Events and Ariel University offer the participants our shuttle service by minibuses from the airport to the hotel or dormitories and back.
The service price is $25 per one way, but it is available only on a preliminary order, not on Saturdays and, if possible, not at nighttime. The minibuses will not take a single participant, rather small groups (3-6 passengers with their luggage) will be formed at the airport.
Therefore, you may have to wait for some time (no more than 2 hours) at the airport until all the other travellers of your group will land. Anyway, we know from the previous conferences that the shuttle service is the simplest and the most reliable way to get to the conference site and we recommend to use this way of transportation.
Important: in order to arrange the shuttle transfer, we need to know exactly the number of flight of each participant no later than by July 01, 2016.
No request for transfer will be accepted after that date.
2) Taxi
A taxi trip from Ben-Gurion airport to Ariel University would take about 1 hour and would cost ~ $80-100 depending on the time of the day and the day of the week.
3) Public transportation
Ariel is well connected to Tel-Aviv, less well to Jerusalem. However, there is no direct bus from Ben-Gurion Airport to Ariel. The simplest (for a foreign visitor) way to get to Ariel could be as follows:
Step 1. Take at the airport a train to Tel-Aviv Ha-Hagana station. Average frequency is 30 minutes at the daytime, the journey time is 11 minutes.
Step 2. Walk from Tel-Aviv Ha-Hagana railway station to the Central Bus Station (which is just next to the railway staion).
Step 3. Find on the 7th floor of the Central Bus Station the platform of routes 186 and 286 of "Afikim" bus company. The average frequency is 20 minutes in the daytime (6 AM - midnight), the journey time is about 90 minutes. You will have to get off at the stop "Ariel Junction" for the hotel "Eshel Ha-Shomron" or at the stop "Ariel University Center, Student dormitories" for the dormitories.
