1st European Regional IHPST Conference
Information for participants of the
1st European Regional IHPST Conference
Dear colleagues,
we would like to make some information available to you which should be very
useful for your travel to and stay at Flensburg in late August. In case that
you feel the need for additional information, do not hesitate to contact us.
Arrival by…
… aircraft (and railway): The nearest airport is Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel
(international airport call sign HAM) at 175km distance from Flensburg. You
will have to take a train to Hamburg Central Station (“Hauptbahnhof”) and from
there a connecting service to Flensburg.
… car: Flensburg is located at route A7 (traffic signs with white markings on
blue ground). Take exit number 3 (“Flensburg”, not to be confused with exit
number 2 “Flensburg/Harrislee”) and turn onto route B200 (traffic signs with
black markings on yellow ground) into direction of Flensburg. Switch then to
route B199 into direction “FL-Süd/FL-Ost” and turn left at the fourth exit to
the main campus. The venue’s address is “Auf dem Campus 1, 24943 Flensburg”.
… train: Flensburg station can be reached from the south via Hamburg Central. A
regional train will leave hourly from there. If you want to come via the Jutland
route, which would also be advisable for our participants from Sweden, a train
service from Malmo via Copenhagen and Fredericia is running every other hour.
In order to go directly to the venue from Flensburg station take bus line 5
(heading to "Ring A/Campus Uni"). If you want to reach the venue
starting from the city center, please use bus lines 4 (heading to "Sünderup
(über Campus)") or 5. Flensburg Campus has three different bus stops,
please exit at the third of those, “Campus Uni”. The fare for a single ticket
is 2,10€.
The hotels we recommend are within walking distance
from the Flensburg central bus station (ZOB). If you have booked at another
place and feel unsure about how to get to the venue please feel free to contact
us.
Arriving on Flensburg University Campus
When you arrive on the Campus by bus as advised
above, you can be dropped at two different stops both called „Campus Uni“.
These are marked in the edited version of our Campus map near the top
edge of the map, right next to the main building („Universität Hauptgebäude“).
The conference site can be found in the extension building („Universität
Erweiterungsbau“), which is right next to the main building. It's just a short
walk!
Climate:
We cannot guarantee sunshine but a truly mild climate indeed. Temperatures
during August in Flensburg are around 20°C, so you need not pack for an English
summer.
Registration:
Registration will be open from 14.00hrs onwards. There
will be signs outside the university building guiding you to the registration
room.
Internet:
The conference participants will receive login
information for the university’s WiFi network.
