DONET Summer School and IPCO VIII Conference Site
The events are hosted by the Institute of
Computing and Information Sciences,
Utrecht University.
All lectures will take place at the
Uithof Campus
east of Utrecht. For general directions to the
Uithof Campus, please click
here, where you also find a good
campus map. For more conference specific instructions, please see below.
Many of you will arrive by plane to Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam.
The train connections to Utrecht are excellent. For train schedules
you can consult the home page of the Dutch
Railways.
There are three things
to keep in mind if you take the train between Schiphol and Utrecht CS:
- Most trains do not go directly to Utrecht. For most connections
you have to first take a train in the direction Hilversum,
Amersfoort, Enschede, or Groningen, and then change at the station
Duivendrecht. These trains typically depart from track 1 or 2 at Schiphol.
There are large yellow announcement boards at the train station
at Schiphol, please check them.
- Station Duivendrecht is unfortunately famous
for its pickpockets. Please be careful!!!
- If you know that you will be using any public transportation (apart
from the train), then you can as well buy a
"Strippenkaart" at the railway station when you buy your train ticket.
The Strippenkaart is valid on basically all buses and trams all over
the country, and it gives you a substantially reduced fare. This is useful
if you take the bus to the conference site. You can also buy a Strippenkaart
in newspaper- and tobacco shops, at post offices, and in some supermarkets.
If you have a hotel in the center of Utrecht you can use either Bus 11 or
Bus 12 (12S during peak hours) to reach
Utrecht
University Uithof Campus.
Both stop at Padualaan/Heidelberglaan
in the very center of the campus. (Take the buses in the direction Uithof, AZU,
WKZ.) Both buses run a very frequent schedule.
Your hotel can provide you with more
information about how to reach the campus by public transportation.
Below you find more detailed information on how to find your way at
the campus.
If you go to the campus for the first time on Monday morning:
- By Bus 11: exit at the bus stop "Heidelberglaan". Cross the street, and
walk back for about 75 meters. The tall building on your right is the
"Willem C. van Unnikgebouw", Heidelberglaan 2.
- By Bus 12 (12S): exit at the bus stop "Centrumgebouw". Just cross the
street and you have the "Willem C. van Unnikgebouw", Heidelberglaan 2, in front
of you.
Enter the Unnikgebouw, walk all the way through the building. Almost at the end,
turn to the right where you enter the "Transitorium 1". In the long hallway
you find the lecture room "Rood". In the neighborhood of that room
you will find the Summer School Registration Desk.
If you go to the campus for the first time on Tuesday morning:
- By Bus 11: exit at the bus stop "Leuvenlaan". To the left, across the
street, you will see the red "Minnaertgebouw".
- By Bus 12 (12S): exit at the bus stop "Kruitgebouw". Cross the street,
and walk back for a while
and you will see a big parking lot. Take a right on the parking lot
and go to the entrance at Leuvenlaan. (See also the more detailed
campus
map for that area by clicking on "Detailkaart 1" and "Detailkaart 2".)
Across the street you will see the
"Minnaertgebouw".
Enter the Minnaertgebouw,
walk up the stairs, and take the indoor passage way immediately slightly to the
left in front of you. This passage way leads to the building "Aardwetenschappen"
(Geosciences), Budapestlaan 4. Once you enter Aardwetenschappen you find the
"Kleine Collegezaal" on your left.
If you go to the campus for the first time on Tuesday afternoon for the
IPCO registration:
- By Bus 11: exit at the bus stop "Heidelberglaan". Cross the street, and
walk back for about 100 meters. You see a red brick building that is built
across the street. This is "Centrumgebouw Noord", Padualaan 14.
- By Bus 12 (12S): exit at the bus stop "Centrumgebouw". Cross the street and
walk back for about 25 meters. You see a red brick building that is built
across the street. This is "Centrumgebouw Noord", Padualaan 14.
Enter Centrumgebouw
Noord. Walk up to floor 0 (you enter at -1!), and go to the left. In the
first room at your left you will find the IPCO Registration.
If you go to the campus for the first time on Wednesday morning:
Follow instructions for Monday morning, but now when you enter the Unnikgebouw,
turn to the left at the reception, and you will find Room Unnik - 001.
If you get lost
Go to Centrumgebouw Noord (see instructions
for Tuesday afternoon), floor 3, Room A329 ("Balie"). This is the reception
of the Institute of Information and Computing Sciences. They have a schedule
