Nobel Symposium NS160
Chemistry and Physics of Heavy and Superheavy Elements (Bäckaskog Castle, 2016)
Venue
The venue of the Nobel Symposium is Bäckaskog Castle (external page), close to the city of Kristianstad in eastern Scania, Sweden. All invited participants enjoy free lodging and a full board Swedish cuisine during the time of the symposium, i.e. May 29th through June 3rd. It is the strong wish of the organizers, on behalf of the Nobel Foundation, that participants attend the symposium for the whole week.
Travel
The most convenient way to reach the symposium venue is by flying to Copenhagen Airport (external page) (CPH) Denmark. From there, commutor trains (Öresundståg) serve Malmö, Lund and Scania every 20 minutes, crossing the sound between Denmark and Sweden on one of the world's largest bridges. Alternative airports are Malmö-Sturup (external page) or Kristianstad (external page).
Information on local train schedules can be obtained via Skanetrafiken (external page).
The envisaged program of the symposium foresees a get-together reception at Lund University on Sunday May 29th in the afternoon. A bus will take us to the symposium venue. At the end of the Nobel Symposium, Friday June 3rd, a bus service will be provided from the venue to the airports, including Copenhagen Airport.
Nobel Symposium NS160: Chemistry and Physics of Heavy and Superheavy Elements was funded by the Nobel Foundation (external page) through its Nobel Symposia Fund and is organised by Lund University.
