Gettting into the building:

Please enter the building at the Nikhef entrance (see mark in the map). In case you arrive outside of the registration hours, register with the portier, stating your name and the event. He and the signs will help you find your way.

Getting there

Address: Science Park 107
Public transport, Centraal Station: In general the best way is to use the planner: http://journeyplanner.9292.nl/. However, to get to the building, take any bus that brings you to Muiderport Station (e.g.: Bus 22 direction Indische Buurt) and the 40 from there to the bus stop Science Park Amsterdam. Otherwise, there is a train going directly from central station to a train station 5 minutes walking from the workshop site. There are two trains an hour according to this schedule:
1. Amsterdam Central XX.18 . –Amsterdam Muiderpoort XX.24 — Science Park XX.26
2. Amsterdam Central XX.48 . –Amsterdam Muiderpoort XX.54 — Science Park XX.56

Car/Bike: This map contains lots of interesting places, including where science park is. You should find your way.
