Venue

For the conference venue we have booked one presentation room in Masaryk’s dormitory (or Masarykova dormitory; in Czech it is called Masarykova kolej), which is a large building in our campus.

The area of the campus of the Czech Technical University (CTU) in the Dejvice quarter (Prague 6) is just next to Underground (metro, tube) station “Dejvická”, line A (green). The area is about 7 km from the center of Prague (Venceslav Square), and is quite near Prague’s Castle. It is 4 stations by underground to the center of Prague, the underground train goes about 5 minutes till there. The area is also very easy to reach from the Prague’s Airport.
