Meeting Place

The workshop will take place on the Island of Djurö in the Stockholm Achipelago. We will stay at Djurönäset Conference Center, about 40 km east of downtown Stockholm.

The conference center provides us with all we need: accomodation, meals, meeting facilities and a lot to do in addition to science. The Stockholm Archipelago is a perfect scenary for the workshop, which we hope to enjoy both indoors and outdoors. Local highlights include the shoreline and the beach, trails to the surrounding nature and nearby villages, lots of space for discussion and recreation, an indoor pool, fitness facilities and the bar.

Stockholm can easily be reached by major international airlines to Stockholm Arlanda airport. Low-budget Europeans flights are also available to Skavsta Airport. From the continent, Stockholm can also be reached by train from Berlin (via Malmö) or from Hamburg (via Copenhagen.)

From the airports and the train station, you can get to the conference center by public transportation (less expensive and less comfortable) or by taxi (more comfortable and more expensive). In order to get a reasonable taxi price, we recommend to order a taxi in advance. Check our travel instructions for more details.

Day by Day

The nominal arrival day is Sunday. We will start officially with a welcome reception on Sunday at 19:00, followed by a dinner.

Since we all hope to see noctilucent clouds during the workshop, our plan is to work "late". After a late breakfast, the scientific sessions will start at 10:00. Lunch will be served at 13:30 and dinner at 20:30. The best time for observing noctilucent clouds starts at 23:00...

In order to get most of the Achipelago, we plan a boat trip to one of the outer islands on Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday evening, there will be a conference dinner.

The nominal departure time is Thursday after breakfast.

Touristic activities

For accompanying persons, the Conference Center and its surroundings provide lots of opportunities for touristic activities. At the same time, there are good transport possibilities to downtown Stockholm. A bus trip of 50 minutes takes you directly to the Old Town.

Another popular activity is boat trips from a nearby local harbor to other islands of the Achipelago. We will provide more information about possible trips once the boat timetables for the summer season have become available.

As opposed to accompanying persons, dedicated LPMR participants will not really have time to go to Stockholm during the workshop days Monday through Wednesday. Still, you may not want to miss the opportunity to spend some time in this great summer town. It may be a good idea to plan for some extra days in Stockholm before or after the workshop. The local organizing committee will be happy to meet you in some local pubs during these days.

For accomondation in the Stockholm area, check our links to local hotel websites. Be aware that finding hotel rooms on a short notice can be a challenge during the Stockholm summer. Alternatively, you can actually prolong your stay at the Djurönäset Conference Center before or after the workshop. You will be 50 minutes by bus from downtown. Extra nights can be booked at a rate of SEK 750 in a single room, and a rate of SEK 595 per person in a double room, including breakfast. (Check the registration page for details.)
