Venue
Congress Venue
The main building of the Vrije Universiteit (De Boelelaan 1105, 1081 HV Amsterdam) is situated at the south side of Amsterdam and easily reached by public transportation (tram, bus, train) or car. The Vrije Universiteit (VU) is located close to the Amsterdam Ring Road A10 and at a 10 min commute from Schiphol Airport, either by car or train. The train station is a 10 min walk from the main building or one stop with the trams 5 or 51 (These stop right next to the main building at the road crossing, when leaving the building). The commute between Amsterdam City Center and the VU takes 25 minutes by tram nrs 5, 16, 24 or 51. Tram 16 and 24 stop left from the main building and in front of the academic hospital at 5 minutes walking distance. Tram tickets are based on a zone-system and a ‘strippen’ card is required (or a multi-day ticket), which cannot be obtained on the tram itself but at the post office, cigar shops etc. The university complex is well reachable by car, however there is a major parking problem in the area. Paid and expensive parking is common in Amsterdam and in the university area. Free parking is possible at a 15 min walking distance to the south in the living area of Buitenveldert.
