Conference venue

The conference will take place in the main building of the Adam Mickiewicz University 
- Collegium Minus (Wieniawskiego 1 Street, Poznan, Poland; see map). 
The opening ceremony and the introductory talks on September 7th will take place in the Lubranski Hall.

Transportation & currency

The easiest way to get to the city center is to take a taxi in the airport (no need to book them in advance). 
The taxi to the city center costs about 30-40 PLN (10 euro). It's however important to have some
local currency (1 euro  approx 4 Polish zloty (PLN)), since the driver may not accept euros in cash or credit cards. 
In general, it's best to use local ATM machines instead of currency exchange points in the airport
(called "Kantor").

Hotels

Hotel Sheraton and Mercure are located very close to the conference venue. See map and links to the hotels.

Program highlights

The conference starts on September 7th 11:00am with the opening and awards ceremony followed by the lecture

Lunch breaks

Lunches are not provided by the organizers, but there are several places close to the conference venue where 
participants can have lunch (local organizers will provide more specific information later).
