Venue
The venue of the meeting will be the Son Lledó Conference Room of the Balearic Islands University.
The university campus is 7.5 km away from Palma, on the road to Valldemossa. To get there from the city center, there are different options:
- Underground trains. The no. 1 underground line links the centre of Palma to the campus. It leaves from Plaça d’Espanya and the last stop is the UIB, so you can’t miss it. It takes 13 minutes to cover the whole route and there is a train every 15 minutes during the rush hour.
- Buses. The no. 19 bus connects Palma to the UIB. During term time, on average there is a bus every 10 minutes.
- Car. Driving time from the city center is about 20 Minutes. Take the MA-1110 road to Valldemossa.
