Practicalities
Participants are responsible for arranging their own travel to Gothenburg as well as their accommodation.
Venue
The workshop will take place at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Campus Johanneberg, Chalmers University of Technology (visiting address Chalmers tvärgata 3, Göteborg). Detailed building directions will be added once available.
The campus is most easily accessed by public transit at the stop
- Chalmers, served by trams 6, 7, 8, and 10 as well as buses 64, 258 and 753.
- Chalmers tvärgata, served by bus 61.
Internet connectivity is provided through eduroam.
Travel
Gothenburg is small enough that the city centre can be explored by foot. Rental bikes are available, as well as many private electric scooter rental companies.
Public transit in Gothenburg is operated by the local transit authority Västtrafik. Journey planning as well as ticket purchases are most easily done through the Västtrafik To Go app. Alternatively, single tickets can be bought on local buses and trams by contactless payment (Mastercard and Visa). A single ticket (select Zone A) costs 37 SEK and is valid for 90 min.
By air
Gothenburg is served by Landvetter airport (GOT) located 20 km southeast of the centre.
Public transportation to the centre is by the Airport Coaches. For the best onward connections to the venue, alight at the stop Korsvägen, and from stand B1 take tram 6, tram 8 or bus 61. Advance purchase online offers the best price (129 SEK single, 209 SEK return) and can be used for any departure. Tickets can also be bought by card onboard.
Taxis are available, but can be rather expensive, although ridesharing apps might provide a good deal for a group. Fixed prices are generally offered. Licensed taxis, including those booked by rideshare, have yellow license plates and the driver’s taxi license displayed inside.
By train or bus
Trains arrive at Gothenburg central station. Long-distance buses arrive at Nils Ericson bus terminal, next to the central station. The fastest direct connection onward to the venue is from the southern tram stop Centralstationen/Drottningtorget stand C by tram 7.
Journeys, both domestic and connecting to neighbouring countries, can be planned with Resrobot.
Night trains from Europe to Gothenburg require an early morning connection in the south of Sweden. Our colleagues that frequently make these trips suggest that Interrail tickets are often the most cost-effective and flexible way.
By boat
Gothenburg has maritime connections to neighbouring countries, as befits the largest port in the Nordics with an over 400-year-old history. Stena Line operates connections to Frederikshavn, Denmark (3.5 hours) and Kiel, Germany (14 hours overnight).
Tourist information
The Gothenburg visitor’s guide has many suggestions for activities outside the conference. Friday the 19 June 2026 is Midsummer’s Eve, a quintessentially Swedish holiday. While it is typically celebrated with one’s family, the visitor’s guide lists some public celebrations.
Sweden is an essentially cashless country, so it is a waste of time to exchange cash in advance and absolutely critical to bring debit or credit cards. Tipping is never expected in any setting, even though card machines in hospitality often prompt for one. Whether or not to tip often suscitates lengthy opinion pieces in the Swedish press; within the organizing committee, our opinions range from systematically never tipping to tipping 5–10% on nicer restaurant meals.
