The Archimedes Center for Scientific Culture, located in Martina Franca, is a non profit institution,  whose first aim is to promote Scientific Culture and Research by promoting courses, seminars and schools, national and international in collaboration with public Institutions, italian and foreign.

The City Counsil of Martina Franca supports the Association by allowing the use of rooms located in the Ducal Palace for congressual activities. It is possible to set up Meetings up to about 220 participants, 10 months per year.  Martina Franca is a town particurarly suitable for Scientific Meeetings, both because of its size, and owing to its irresistible charm. In the next future it is expected that some rooms in the old town will be assigned to the Association, as a seat of Archimedes.
