On the conference platform you will find the program, poster gallery and all attendees. In the program you can use the ‘Bookmark’ function to mark the sessions that you wish to attend over the course of the three conference days. All bookmarked sessions will gather in ‘Your bookmarks’, which can act as a personal schedule to use during the conference. The tracks have been placed in numerical order to allow you to easily find the tracks you are interested in.

 Finding your sessions online: Most sessions will be available for online participation. These will have a zoomlink added to the session. The links are being created and added at the moment.

The first day ends with a fantastic reception at the Stockholm City Hall, hosted by the City of Stockholm. 

We look forward to seeing you all in June!

A conference that travels - Travel

This conference is organized by a consortium of universities in Stockholm. Therefore, the conference moves to a new campus each day in order to offer the participants the chance to view and enjoy the characteristics of the contributing universities. 

This means that you will be travelling to different parts of Stockholm during your stay in June. We wish to make this as easy and comfortable as possible. We have put together a travel manual for you, one page presents the campus and possible travel alternatives for each day. Have a look and rest assured, you will find your way to the campuses of the universities! 

Go to the page Travel manual to find all available information on the practicalities around travelling in Stockholm during the conference.
