Venue

AMAM 2019 will take place in the auditorium CO 2 on the EPFL campus in Lausanne, Switzerland. A map of the campus with the location of the auditorium is visible below. Signage towards the auditorium will be placed from the EPFL M1 metro station. See also the auditorium on the interactive map of the campus.

• By plane: the closest airport is Geneva (GVA), which is at 60 minutes by train & metro from the EPFL in Lausanne. Another option is to fly to Zurich (ZRH), and to take the train to Lausanne (2 hours and 30 minutes).
  

  

• By train: trains are fast and convenient in Switzerland. To get to the EPFL you should take a train to Lausanne or to Renens (closer to the EPFL), and then take the M1 metro. For the SBB timetable, please click here. Another easy solution (e.g., when coming from Geneva Airport) is to take the train to Morges (which is in between Geneva and Lausanne, a bit further than Renens), and then the 701 bus towards Lausanne-Bourdonnette, and go out at the stop “St-Sulpice VD, Pâqueret”, next to the Learning Center (timetable).
• By metro: from the Lausanne train station, there are three options:
  1. Take the metro M2 to “Flon” (direction “Croisettes”, 1 stop), change in Flon and take the metro M1 (also called TSOL) and exit at the stop “EPFL”. The whole trip should take approximately 25 minutes.
  2. Walk up the pedestrian street “Rue du petit chêne”, cross the road at the end of the pedestrian street, walk straight for 20m, and then turn left and walk down the stairs (“Escaliers du grand-chêne”) to the “Flon” metro station, and then the metro M1 (also called TSOL) and exit at the stop “EPFL”. The whole trip should take approximately 30 minutes.
  3. Take a local train to Renens, and then take the metro M1 (also called TSOL) and exit at the stop “EPFL”. The trip takes approximately 20 minutes.

  From Renens (train station) you should take the metro M1 and exit at the stop “EPFL”. The trip takes approximately 7 minutes.

  You will receive a free regional travel card at your hotel, with which you can freely use the public transport in the Lausanne region during your stay.

Hotel rooms have been prebooked in the region for conference attendees, generally at preferential rates.

Please remember that unused prebooked rooms will be released several weeks before the conference. You must therefore make sure to book your room before the deadline (the earliest being July 1^st) if you want to benefit of the preferential rates.

The preferential rates can in general be obtained by quoting AMAM 2019 to the hotels, except for the Starling where a specific registration link has to be used (see PDF document below).

Several speakers have been contacted by a travel agency named btravelmanagement with which we have no relationship. Please do not do any business with that company and contact the hotels directly to be sure that you don't get into additional costs.
