Practical information about travelling to and accommodation in Lund.
We would like to welcome you to Lund for the CompAS2025 meeting! Here is some important information:
The closest airport is Copenhagen, with direct flights to many destinations. From the airport, basically all train bound for Sweden (marked as "trains to Malmö" on signs inside the airport) will take you to Lund C. The travelling time is about 45 minutes and costs about 15 Euro, one-way. You find information on how to travel to Lund University here.
The venue for the meeting is planned to be in the old Astronomy-building at Sölvegatan 27 (here on google-map).
Schedule: We plan to start around 10 AM on Thursday the 12th of June. We are planning for a dinner on the evening of Friday the 13th and continue until mid-afternoon on Saturday the 14th. For people arriving early (on Wednesday) we will arrange an informal “reception”.
Accommodation:
There are many options for staying in Lund and basically everything is within easy walking distance. I recommend you book well in advance – Lund is a small town, with a large university and many other actors that organise meetings. Here are some options:
- Hotels:
Nice hotels are Concordia (cozy), Grand Hotel (a tradition in Lund - a bit pricy), Best Western Plus Hotel Nordic (slick). “Comfortable” hotels are Bishop's Arms Hotel (above a pub) and Hotel Oscar (cozy in a small cottage and breakfast in the local creperie). AVOID Lundia Hotel - nice rooms and location, but terrible breakfast! There are many other alternatives on standard booking-sites. Lund is a small town, and anything (more or less) is within walking distance.
- Apartments
Forenom Aparthotel Lund is a good alternative.
- University Guest House
This is located in the Sparta complex (here on google-map) about 10-15 minutes’ walk from the Astronomy-building, 15-20 minutes’ walk outside town-center. You will have to book the University Guest House through Lund University. Fill in this form before April 8, if you are interested and we will make a reservation request:https://forms.office.com/e/nR69zaMwmh
Meeting fee
There will be no fee for the conference, but we will organise a joint dinner including a charge (estimated to less than 100 Euro). This could be billed to participants as a “conference fee”, if necessary. Coffee-breaks during sessions are covered by the organisers. Lunches and the reception on Wednesday is covered by the participants.
