Travel and accommodations

Getting to Copenhagen is fairly straightforward. Copenhagen Airport is one of the main hubs in northern Europe, and is thus served by most airline companies. You may also reach Copenhagen via railway from Sweden and Germany with trains terminating at Copenhagen Central Station. Public transport is well-integrated in Copenhagen and there is easy access from the Airport to either the Central Station, or Nørreport Station every 5–10 minutes either by Öresundstog, or Metro. The Botanical Gardens is located right next to the Nørreport Station, which serves both IC-, regional-, metro-, and S-trains, as well as a number of bus lines. The main venue, Geological Museum, is situated midway between Nørreport and Østerport stations – both stations serve airport trains and S-trains. The Metro further runs directly from the airport to Nørreport Station.

Accommodation either in hotels or, for instance, AirBNB, is also easy. Nearby hotels include Hotel Kong Arthur, Hotel Østerport, Wake Up Hotel Borgergade, Hotel Jørgensen, to name a few, but there are many others. Check, for instance, this site for a better overview.

Notes on the current coronavirus outbreak

We are monitoring the situation here in Denmark, as well as globally. In line with UNESCO's vision, the intention is to organize a meeting welcoming researchers from all over the world. Thus, the pandemic must be under control on several continents before we will go ahead and finalize the venue dates. Until then we advise delegates not to book accommodation and airfares unless they can be reimbursed.

For more information on the current situation here in Denmark, please consult the Danish national public health authorities website which will be continuously updated. Note also that their website contains a Q&A section providing information on the precautionary measures taken by the authorities here.
