Location


This conference will take place in the Conference Centre of IST Lisbon, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon – Avenida Rovisco Pais, 1 – 1049-001, Portugal, within the Civil Engineering building.

Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) – Alameda Campus (information extracted from www.ist.utl.pt)

This University Campus was built on 1937 and it is one of the best examples of architecture inspired by “art nouveau” in Portugal.
It is located in central Lisbon and served by an excellent public transportation network. This area is full of hotels, culture, many shopping, leisure, entertaining, sports areas and facilities.


How to get there


 
Airport
From Lisbon Airport (Portela) to IST Alameda campus is a 10 minutes' drive. Lisbon Airport is very close to the city centre – it is located 7km from the centre - and there are different alternatives to get there, namely by Metro to Aerobus, by city bus (Carris) or by taxi. If you choose the metro to go from the airport straight to IST, you have the red line (linha vermelha) and you should exit in Alameda or Saldanha station. It takes around 15 to 20 minutes and costs €1,25 plus €0,50 for the "viva viagem" rechargeable card.

 
Taxi
Taxis allow you to arrive at IST from any point in the city, but of course the tariff also increases according to the distance, traffic and day time. An airport-IST trip is around 10 euros. It is possible to buy "taxi vouchers" at the airport from €20 to €25.
 
Bus
The whole city of Lisbon is provided with an urban transport network with convenient timetables and frequent buses. The following buses stop near IST Alameda campus:
    Av. Rovisco Pais/Av. António José de Almeida (side entrances): 720, 742, 767.
    Alameda: 708 (bike bus), 717, 718, 720, 735, 767; night bus: 206, 208.
    Saldanha/Arco do Cego: 713, 716, 720, 726, 727, 736, 738, 742, 744, 767, 783; night bus: 207.
