In addition, we have room 161 (on the first floor) at our disposal as well for discussions, group work etc. Furthermore, there are plenty of casual places to sit down for a chat next to the main workshop rooms.

The participants will be staying at Hotel Scandic Eremitage in the town of Lyngby. The meeting organizers take care of booking and paying for all rooms. If you have not yet informed the organizers of your travel plans, please do so as soon as possible.

Check the hotel website for specific directions, or simply take the S-train from Copenhagen Central Station. You can take the green line B toward Holte or the purple line E toward Hillerød and get off at Lyngby station. From there it is a five-minute walk to the hotel.
