How to get to Halmstad


Halmstad is located on the southwest coast of Sweden, closer to the Danish capital Copenhagen than to the capital of Sweden, Stockholm. For international participants, we recommend travel to the International Airport of Copenhagen (Kastrup) in Denmark, from which you can reach Halmstad by train in two hours.

From the nearby airports of Malmoe (Sturup) and Gothenburg, it is approximately one and a half hour to Halmstad by train. The railway station in Halmstad is within 15 minutes walking distance from Halmstad University and from many hotels. Se this map.

It is easy to get to Copenhagen from different places around the world. The following are some of the internet booking services:

We advice you to book your flights as early as you could. Please note that due to more thorough security checks, airlines are now requiring at least three-hour check-in time. From Copenhagen airport, you can take the coastline train directly to Halmstad.

Conference venue

Halmstad University has a very compact campus. All the buildings are within 3-5 minutes of walk. We will put up signs at the entrance of the campus to show you where to go. Also, there will be five to six students around the campus to guide you to the conference building and registration desk. In other words, once you arrive at Halmstad University, you will be taken care of by us. You won't get lost.

Weather

The weather on 6-7 June is early summer. It can be nice, but it can be quite unpredictable, ranging from cool to warm, dry or wet. It would be advisable to bring one pullover and one umbrella to cover all weathers.
