The GAP D&U Meeting 2022 will take place at the Aalto University Design Factory, in the Otaniemi campus. The address is Betonimiehenkuja 5 C, 02150 Espoo, Finland.

There are limited on-campus accommodation options in Otaniemi. Fortunately, Aalto University can be easily reached from central Helsinki by Metro (a ~10 minutes ride). Depending on where you are staying, you may want to consider purchasing a weekly pass from HSL, the metropolitan transport service of the Helsinki region. The most convenient way to use public transportation is via the HSL mobile app (download it from you Apple or Android app store).

Local services at the Aalto Otaniemi campus

Most of the services (groceries, pharmacy, etc.) at the Otaniemi campus are located in the A Bloc, which is the same building that contains the metro station. You can find a range of canteen and restaurants (and even a couple of pubs) on campus. Some are located at the A Bloc and others can be found all over the campus; for a full list follow this link. We have 2-hour lunch breaks, which gives you plenty of time to explore the campus. If you are quick, you may even make it to Helsinki for lunch and be back on time for the next talk.

The wrap-up session on the last day will take place at the fortress island of Suomenlinna, at the Ballast Room (Paarlastihuone, number 2 on this map). Suomenlinna can be easily reached by ferry from downtown Helsinki using the HSL commuting system of the metropolitan area (i.e., you can use the same travel card/mobile app as for bus, metro and tram services). The ferry trip takes about 15 minutes and there are services every 20 to 40 minutes. Follow these links for more information on Suomenlinna, the ferry services and the Ballast Room.
