The conference will take place in Room "Aula Magna" (M0) at the Department of Mathematics and Physics "E. De Giorgi" of the University of Salento, located just outside the city of Lecce in the campus Ecotekne - via per Arnesano 73100, Lecce (Italy).
We highly suggest booking an accomodation in Lecce and move to the campus by the very well served line S13 of the public bus service. The ride usually takes around 15~20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
Starting from Lecce, the main stops can be found along University Avenue (viale dell'Università) and are named Porta Rudiae, Università, and Porta Napoli. Also the bus stop at City Terminal is a good option.
The Department is located after the last stop, which serves as a starting point for the S13 to return to Lecce. On the return, preferable exit stops are located opposite to the ones above.
