Location

The easiest way to attend the conference is to go to Amsterdam Centraal (Main Station) by train (see green symbol on the map). All conference events are located in the city center. You can take one of the trams, number 4, 9, 16, 24, or 25 and exit at station Spui. From there it is about 300m to FelixMeritis, Keizersgracht 324 (see red symbol on the map), where we meet on Friday. Just go right in the direction of the tram, over the three canals, Singel, Herengracht, and Keizersgracht, and then you are there. You can also walk about a kilometer from the Main Station and enjoy Amsterdam's beautiful center.

On Saturday, proceed as before and exit either at station Spui or the next one, Muntplein. The University Library, Singel 425 (blue symbol) is directly next to the canal Singel, so do not go over any bridges. The conference takes place in the Doelenzaal.

If you attend one of the workshops on Sunday, go either to the Metro station Weesperplein, using numbers 51, 53, 54 or the trams 4, 7, 9, 10, or 14. You can alternatively take tram 7 or 10 to K. 's-Gravesandestraat and are then even closer to the Center for Interidisciplinary Studies (yellow symbol) in the Sarphatistraat 104.
