About the conference

AEA Europe’s 8th Annual Conference was held from 8–10 November 2007 in Stockholm, Sweden with pre-conference workshops on the 7 November. The venue was Piperska Muren, in the centre of Stockholm, next to the town hall on the island Kungsholmen (the King's Island). During the 17th Century Piperska Muren was one of Stockholm's most impressive ore estates. It was originally the residence of count Carl Piper, one of King Karl XII's closest advisors, who bought the house in 1694. Since 1807, Piperska Muren has been owned by the order of Arla Coldinu, an order which has always been held in high esteem. To find out more about the history of Piperska Muren, go to www.piperskamuren.se and www.piperskamuren.sida.nu
