I expect each to book his own accomodation and (apart from lunches) pay his own food in the university cafetaria etc. Also, both mechiel and I have some space for ``mattrass on the floor'' guests; if you are interested contact us (or me, axel) in time. Getting to the venue, and maps: * dutch train information [http://www.ns.nl]; button ``English'' at the top of the page. * ''door to door'' travel information [http://www.ovr.nl] (includes bus information, but only in dutch) There is a railway station ``Enschede Drienerlo'' near the campus (ca. 20 min walk, or fewer by bus [line 1 | http://tinyurl.com/4cepn]). Only ``slow'' trains stop there, so if you travel by ``intercity'' or ``fast train'' from elsewhere in the netherlands you have to change, e.g. in Hengelo. If you have to change in Hengelo anyway, it is probably faster to take a bus (see below). There are buses from Hengelo central station to the campus * [line 15 | http://tinyurl.com/5mp3n] to Universiteit Twente (not in the weekend) The bus stop is closest to our building is indicated on the campus map by the ``H'' at the ``hallenweg'' near building number 5. * [line 3 | http://tinyurl.com/6pazj] to ''Glanerbrug''. (note: the url gives the timetable for sunday (zondag), click the buttons for weekdays (Maandag tot en met Vrijdag), or saterday (zaterdag) There is a bus stop near the campus, on the viaduct where the ``Hengelosestraat'' (the road between Enschede and Hengelo) crosses (goes over) the road that leads to the entrance of the university. There are buses from Enschede central station to the campus * [line 1 | http://tinyurl.com/6g6lt] to ''Universiteit, Langenkampweg''. Has its final destination on the campus, makes a nice detour through living quarters of enschede. The bus stop closest to our building is indicated on the campus map by the ``H'' at the ``hallenweg'' near building number 5. Warning: line 15 that stops here as well will bring you to Hengelo. * lines [3 | http://tinyurl.com/4loaj] (all day), 17 early mornings), 18 (around lunchtime), go straight from Enschede to nearby city Hengelo. There is a bus stop near the campus, on the viaduct where the ``Hengelosestraat'' (the road between Enschede and Hengelo) crosses (goes over) the road that leads to the entrance of the university. [Maporama | http://www.maporama.com] can show a map of the city, using e.g. postal codes. In the netherlands postal codes consist of 4 digits followed by 2 letters. For the campus, you can use: postcode: 7522 NB , city: Enschede , which will show you the campus, but not exactly the building we meet in, for that see the info at the top of this page. For postal codes of hotels, follow the links in the accomodation section below (they will be in the contact info of the hotel). Wifi access: Our university seems to have "Europe's largest Wi-Fi hotspot" (according to some web page here). To arrange (guest) access it will be useful to have your mac-addresses in advance. [practical information about the campus | http://www.utwente.nl/en/practical_information/] includes: * [information about traveling in the netherlands | http://www.utwente.nl/en/practical_information/getting_there/transport/] * [how to get to the university | http://www.utwente.nl/en/practical_information/getting_there/] * [university campus map | http://www.utwente.nl/en/services/route/] * [information about accomodation | http://www.utwente.nl/en/practical_information/accommodation/hotels.doc/] The [web pages of the QEST conference | http://www.qest.org/qest2004/] that was held here last summer contain more information that may be interesting and/or still valid (like information about the ``venue'' and about ``transportation''). A bit more about accomodation: In addition to the [university information about accomodation | http://www.utwente.nl/en/practical_information/accommodation/hotels.doc/] there is [accomodation info from the QEST conference | http://www.qest.org/qest2004/accomodation] that still kind of applies. In addition to that information I have tried to find information about the less-expensive hotels here. On-campus there is ``logica''. Most rooms have no own toilet or shower (shared on coridor). Room price approx. EUR 42 (incl breakfast). Contact info under QEST link; when booking there, mention ``twente9con''. The also on-campus ``drierburgt'' is more expensive, see their website (eg via QEST accomodation page). Off-campus there is, among others, the parkhotel (contact info under QEST link). The parkhotel has rooms with (prices include breakfast) * neither shower nor toilet in the room, but shared on the coridor (single EUR 35, double EUR 55) * shower in the room, but toilet shared on the coridor (single EUR 40, double EUR 65) * both shower and toilet in the room (single EUR 50, double EUR 75) There is a bus stop for lines 3, 17, 18 (see above) near the parkhotel.
