Getting there By plane/public transport International participants arriving by air should ideally take a flight to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, or, even better, Rotterdam-The Hague Airport. Arriving at Schiphol Airport there is a train connection to Rotterdam Central Station. The fastest train connection is the Fyra (26 minutes). Alternatively, you can take the regular train service to Rotterdam Central (45-50 minutes). The Schiphol railway station is located directly underneath the Central Arrival Hall. Tickets can be purchased from the ticket office located in the Arrival Hall close to the escalators to the train station. Please note that for the Fyra a supplementary ticket is required. For more information about flights to Amsterdam International Airport Schiphol and other information on this airport, please visit the Schiphol website. From Rotterdam-The Hague Airport an airport shuttle brings you in about 20 minutes to Rotterdam Central station. For more information about flights to Rotterdam Airport and other information on this airport, please visit the Rotterdam airport website. For accurate train timetables, please visit the website of the Dutch Railways NS. See www.ns.nl From Rotterdam Central Station to the Woudestein Campus of the Erasmus University Rotterdam:

NOTE: Due to construction work, parking on campus is limited (parking fees will be charged). Accommodation and Dinner
We recommend booking a hotel close to the city centre and central train station, such as Best Western Crown Hotel (budget) or Manhattan Hotel Rotterdam (luxury). At the moment, there are some very good deals available via www.booking.com . If you prefer a hotel close to the Woudestein campus, we would recommend Novotel Brainpark Rotterdam. I would not recommend one of the hotels located in the South of Rotterdam or on the motorway, unless you have a car.
On Thursday we will have dinner and drinks in Gusto located at the Schiedamse Vest 40 in the city centre. For participants who have arrived already on Wednesday, December 14, and feel like going for a drink, please meet the organizers in front of the Manhattan hotel, Wednesday evening at 20h30.
Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands and the largest port in the world. Starting as a dam on the Rotte river, Rotterdam has grown into a major international commercial centre. Its strategic location at the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta on the North Sea and at the heart of a massive rail, road, air and inland waterway distribution system extending throughout Europe means that Rotterdam is often called the Gateway to Europe.
Located in the Province of South Holland, Rotterdam is in the west of the Netherlands and at the south of the Randstad. The population of the city proper was 603,425 in March 2010. The population of the greater Rotterdam area, called "Rotterdam-Rijnmond" or just "Rijnmond", is around 1.3 million people. Rotterdam is one of Europe's most vibrant and multicultural cities. It is known for its university (Erasmus), its cutting-edge architecture, its lively cultural life, its striking riverside setting, its maritime heritage and the Rotterdam Blitz.
But the essence of Rotterdam is its huge, modern port. The largest port in Europe and one of the busiest ports in the world, the port of Rotterdam was the world's busiest port from 1962 to 2004, at which point it was surpassed by Shanghai. Rotterdam's commercial and strategic importance is based on its location near the mouth of the Nieuwe Maas (New Meuse), one of the channels in the delta formed by the Rhine and Meuse on the North Sea. These rivers lead directly into the centre of Europe, including the industrial Ruhr region. For more information on Rotterdam, see http://www.rotterdam.nl/home_english
