Conference and travel information

The city of Uppsala is conveniently located a short train or bus ride from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. The train station (Arlanda C) is centrally located in the Sky City part of the airport. NOTE: Be careful to purchase the correct ticket for your train, as several train companies (SJ, SL, Mälartåg) run trains between Arlanda and Uppsala with partly separate ticketing systems.

If transferring by taxi, be aware that taxi fares are not regulated in Sweden. To avoid paying too much for the trip (the cost should not be more than about 700 SEK), you can go for one of the larger, established taxi companies – either Uppsala Taxi or Taxi Kurir.

It is also possible to travel by train directly from continental Europe, with high-speed train from Copenhagen as well as night train connections from Hamburg and Berlin available. Usually, this also requires changing to a local or regional train in Stockholm to get to Uppsala.

The conference will be held in Sonja Lyttkens hall at the Ångström Laboratory, Uppsala. The Ångström Laboratory is located about 30–40 min by foot from central Uppsala. Bus number 4 stops directly in front of the main building (stop Polacksbacken) and buses 3, 8 and 11 stops at Regementsvägen, which is a short walk from the Ångström Laboratory. Taxis are also an option.
