Participants should aim to arrive by the 11th of July, since the meeting will start in the morning on the 12th. The meeting will continue until the middle or end of the afternoon of the 15th of July.
The meeting will be held in the Department of Pure Mathematics of the Faculty of Sciences of Oporto University. See more details above.
There are many international direct flights to Oporto (Pedras Rubras) airport. If no convenient flight to Oporto is available participants from abroad may fly to Lisbon and catch an internal connecting flight or take a train to Oporto. The train journey from Lisbon to Oporto lasts a minimum of 3 hours.
TRANSPORT FROM THE AIRPORT TO OPORTO:
There are good connections from the airport to Oporto.
By bus:
There exists a bus route, called AeroBus, providing a fast connection between the airport
and the city's leading hotels and downtown Porto (tell the driver where you are going). The
AeroBus leaves every 30m (from 7:45 to 19:15) and it costs 2,50 euros.
For more information (timetables, etc) visit the
AeroBus Web Site.
By taxi:
Price around 15 Euros. A small tip of around 5 percent is appreciated
but not essential.
ARRIVING BY TRAIN:
See train schedules and prices in the web page of CP.
The train stops at the Campanhã railway station.
From there you have local buses (the local company is called STCP) that pass near in the Hotel. You can catch the line
34 (see its route), and exit at the end of the line, or the line 35 (see its route) and exit at "Junta".
The price of the ticket is 0,47 euros if prepaid and 0,95 euros if bought on the bus.
Another alternative is to use a taxi. From the train station to the hotel the price should be around 8 euros.
Due to the limitations of the budget it is unlikely that financial support will be available except for the main speakers and some Portuguese students.
The meeting is to be held in Oporto, Portugal's second-largest city, offering many attractive sightseeing possibilities.
Recently Oporto's
historical centre was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. Local food
and wine is excellent, and in particular Oporto (Porto in Portuguese) is
the home of Port
wine.
