Travel Info
The conference and co-located events will be hosted at the Louis De Geer conference centre in the heart of the city of Norrköping. The Centre has full conference facilities and can support a variety of sizes of audience through fully reconfigurable and recently equipped audio/visual suites. The centre also boasts a 1300 seat auditorium, which also provides a home for the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, and a 600 seat lecture and performance hall.Norrköping is an historic industrial city and Sweden's second most important port, measured by value of cargo passing through it annually. It is home to some 127000 people and lies on Sweden's Baltic coast about 140 kilometres south-west of Stockholm. The university's Norrköping campus includes approximately 5000 undergraduate students and around 200 academic, research and support staff. The conference centre lies close to the city in an area known as 'Industrilandskapet' (the industrial landscape) where many of the buildings which used to house the paper and cloth factories which made Norrköping famous are now finding a new purpose as homes for new, modern businesses.
The climate in May is usually pleasantly spring-like with the evenings already growing longer (daylight in early May is from 5am to 9pm). There is a good chance of occasional rain, however, so raincoats may be required. Average temperatures vary from about 16°C (60°F) down to about 5°C (41°F).
