Getting to NIKHEF
You can get to NIKHEF by taxi, public transport and by car (see also the local guide):- The #9 tram takes you directly from the NH Tropen Hotel to the Kruislaan stop. From there, it's a 5-minute walk to the lab along a straight course.
- The bus (#67) stops leaves from the Amstel station (lower level, next to the tram stop) and stops in front of the main gate (stop "T/o 413 t/m 415") every 15-30 minutes. Timetables for the return leg are available here.
- NIKHEF is easily accessible by car. Click here to get driving directions by routenet.nl. There is free parking space available on the premises. Please see the map of the Science Park Amsterdam for details of the parking lots. The small parking lot close to the NIKHEF entrance is reserved for loading and unloading goods and for the disabled. Please use one of the general lots for longer-term parking.
- By taxi: arrange to be dropped off at Kruislaan 409 (on campus). Unless you know the way, make sure to have a printout of the map handy and make sure the taxi heads to the "Science Park Amsterdam" in the "Watergraafsmeer". Note that the taxi service from the inner city of Amsterdam is at times an uncanny experience. For transport leaving NIKHEF, call Taxi Centrale Diemen, phone: (020) 690 58 58.
Once at the Science Park, make your way to the "colloquium zalen", signposted on the campus. The room is Z0.09 (the smaller room near the flight of stairs). In case of problems, call extension 2179. The NIKHEF reception desk can be reached by phone at +31 (0)20-592 2000.

From Schiphol Airport
The best way to get from Schiphol to your hotel is by public transport. Underneath the airport and Schiphol Plaza is the train station where trains leave for "Amsterdam Central" station approximately every 10 minutes.Beware, though, that you must buy your train ticket before you board the train, from the ticket windows in the Plaza or from the vending machines with a Eurocard/Mastercard or pin-enabled Meastro card. You cannot by tickets on the train anymore, and fines are quite expensive (approximately 60 EUR + regular fare). Sorry for this, but public transport quality is degrading in the Netherlands ...
From Amsterdam Central station, take the #9 tram to "Diemen", and get off at the Plantage Middenlaan, close to your hotel.
Coffee and lunches
Coffee can be obtained from the coffee counter on the ground floor. Smoking is prohibited in all rooms and corridors, but a dedicated smoking room is at your disposal on the ground floor next to the coffee point at NIKHEF (other entrance).A self-service lunch will be provided in room Z0.10, adjacent to the meeting room. On Wednesday, a welcome lunch will be available starting 12:00 hrs. The exact time for the Thursday lunch is still to be determined.
Workshop Dinner
On Wednesday evening you can enjoy Indonesian cuisine, a good and long traditional in the Netherlands, at Desa, an authentic Indonesian restaurant. The menu will be available from Wednesday lunch-time, so that you can make a pre-selection of your favourite dishes.Please indicate your participation the registration form, and keep in mind that, Amsterdam being in the Netherlands, we'll go Dutch this time ...
If you want to peek at the menu before you leave, this is your change.
