The workshop takes place at the premises of CICERO at the CIENS centre in Oslo. Information how to get there you can find here.

The easiest is to reach CIENS by public transportation (see directions in English at the link below). Once you enter the CIENS building, ask

at the main reception to be directed to the meeting room "Terra", which is located on the main level of the building, just down the stairs

and around the corner from the main entrance to the building. Please have a look at the following links for further information:

Thon Hotel Astoria is located here. The easiest from the hotel is to walk a block and a half to the central train station ("Jernbanetorget"),

and take the subway/metro lines 3 ("Sognsvann"), 5 ("Storo"), or 4 (Ringen) heading West and get off at the station "Blindern". or
