DESSERT 2026 will take place in Corfu (Kerkyra), Greece, the northernmost Ionian Island, located at a strategic intersection between Europe and the Mediterranean. Historically shaped by Venetian, French, and British administrations, Corfu functioned for centuries as a fortified gateway and defensive system against external threats. Its UNESCO-listed historic center—the only fully fortified city in Greece—reflects long-standing principles of resilience, reliability, and security-oriented urban design, closely aligned with the conference’s focus on dependable and trustworthy systems.

DESSERT 2026 will be hosted at Corfu by the Ionian University at the historic Ionian Academy building, located in the heart of Corfu’s old town. Founded in 1824, the Ionian Academy was the first modern university-level institution in the Greek-speaking world, strongly influenced by the European Enlightenment and Western academic traditions. Today, the restored neoclassical building combines historical significance with modern conference facilities, providing an appropriate and inspiring environment for high-level scientific exchange in security, resilience, trust, and systems engineering.
