CLOSURE

IMPORTANT:

There is no issue regarding access to the conference rooms for AIW participants with mobility impairments, as the two rooms can be reached via a ramp and an elevator. To access the restrooms, handicapped people can also need to use the elevator (going up to the first floor) because the restrooms on the ground floor are only accessible via stairs.

Finally, if anyone encounters any difficulties or has any concerns, they can inform me directly through my email address (avelino.corral@uam.es) or phone number (0034 657767167), and I will make every effort to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

TRANSPORT:

The Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) is in Cantoblanco campus (Cantoblanco Universidad railway (RENFE) station) in the north of Madrid. To travel between the university and the city center of Madrid, the fastest and most convenient option is the commuter train (RENFE Cercanías). To do so, it is necessary to purchase a rechargeable card (€0.50) at any RENFE train station and then either a single ticket (€1.85) or, if multiple trips are planned, a 10-journey pass (€13.70), which may be more economical. 

Below is the itinerary listing the train stops between Puerta del Sol and Cantoblanco Universidad station, where the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) is located:

(Parla ... <-->) Atocha <--> Sol <--> Nuevos Ministerios <--> Chamartín <--> Fuencarral <--> Cantoblanco Universidad (UAM) ( <--> ... Colmenar Viejo or Alcobendas / San Sebastian de los Reyes)

To get around Madrid, we can use both the bus and the metro, although the metro is the fastest option. To travel by metro, we will need to go to a metro station and purchase a card (€2.50) and then a single ticket (€1.50). Alternatively, if multiple trips are planned, it may be more economical to purchase a 10-trip pass (€6.60).
