To be announced.

The conference will be held in the forests of Småland at Linnaeus University in Växjö.

The location for the conference is in the IKEA-hall in the N-building. For more information about the location see the campus map.

A poster session will be organized as part of the SRS Conference 2024. The session with short pitch-presentations about the poster will take place Day 1, but the posters should be visible during both days during the breaks. There will be an award for the best poster, and the conference participants will throughout the conference get a chance to vote for the best poster.

 

You sign up for presenting a poster in the registration form.

 

The poster should be in A1 format – you can either print the poster yourself and bring to the conference or send it to diana.unander@lnu.se by March 13, 2024 in order to be printed and ready on time.

 

There are a number of different ways to travel to Växjö. You can either take the train to Växjö Central or travel by air to Växjö Småland Airport.

If you travel by train to Växjö you will reach Växjö Central located in the city centre. Travelling by train from Stockholm Central to Växjö Central takes roughly 3.5 hours.

If you instead choose to travel by air, you can choose to travel either from Bromma Stockholm Airport or Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to Växjö Småland Airport. You can also reach Växjö via flight to Copenhagen Airport/Kastrup and connecting direct train to Växjö Central (roughly 2.5 hours).

Travel in Växjö

For travel from Växjö Central or Växjö Småland Airport to Linnaeus University we recommend either bus or taxi.

By bus

When travelling by bus from Växjö Central to Linnaeus University, bus number 3, direction “Universitetet”, is the best option. However, there are also other bus routes that pass by one of the university’s bus stops or bus stops nearby, for instance, route number 1 and 5, which take you to Teleborg Centrum, some 8–10 minutes’ walk from the university’s campus.

Bus number 4 will take you from Växjö Småland Airport to Växjö Central where you can change to bus to get to Linnaeus University.

Bus tickets are purchased either on the bus with a debit card or you can download the travel app “Länstrafiken Kronoberg” and purchase your ticket in the app, which will give you a 10% discount on your ticket. You use your debit card to pay in the app.

By bicycle

In case you prefer a bicycle, many hotels can offer this. It takes roughly 20 minutes with a bicycle from the city centre to Linnaeus University’s campus.

By taxi

Most taxi companies start from Södra Bantorget at World Trade Center which means you can find available taxis here.

By car

There is a relative shortage of parking spaces on campus and all are subject to a charge. Parking spaces are marked on the map below.
