Goa offers far more than its golden coastline: it is a remarkable blend of Indian tradition and centuries of Portuguese influence. Nestled on the western shore of India, this vibrant state invites you to explore lush forests, elegant baroque churches, spice-rich cuisine, colorful markets, and a relaxed coastal charm. From witnessing history at the UNESCO-listed Basilica of Bom Jesus — home to the sacred relics of St. Francis Xavier — to experiencing the calm of Palolem’s iconic “Silent Noise” gatherings or feeling the mist of the majestic Dudhsagar Falls, Goa promises a refreshing mix of culture, nature, and leisure. During the QM:F2f 2026 , we invite participants to take advantage of this unique setting — a place where scientific exchange can be wonderfully paired with exploration, inspiration, and a breath of ocean air.
