"Bridging the Gap: Nano Meets Quantum" - CeNS/MCQST Workshop - Venice International University, San Servolo (Italy)

In addition to the talks, all participants are invited to present a poster at one of the two poster sessions taking place on Tuesday and Thursday.

We have made reservations for a direct train to and from Venice, so that all participants from Munich and Augsburg can take this train to travel together to Venice.

The train (EuroCity) leaves Munich Main Station on Sunday, September 19 at 11:34 am and will arrive in Venezia Santa Lucia at 6:25 pm. From the train station to San Servolo, it takes about 30 min to reach the hotels

The return train will leave Venice on Friday, September 24 at 1:35 pm and will reach Munich at 8:25 pm.

Several airlines offer flights to Marco Polo International Airport at Venice. From the airport, regular boats (e.g. ALILAGUNA) connect to the island of Venice. The conference location San Servolo is reached via boat No. 20 from close to the Piazzale San Marco.

We have booked rooms for speakers and participants from Sunday evening (Sept. 19) to Friday morning (Sept. 24). The rooms are located in three hotels in the heart of historic Venice.

Accommodation for speakers

The speakers of the workshop are invited to stay in the hotels Don Orione or Domus Ciliota where CeNS has booked single and double rooms from Sunday evening (19th) to Friday morning (24th). Please inform Claudia Leonhardt as soon as possible about your arrival and departure dates and whether you will need a single or double room.

Accommodation for participants

For students (PhD and Master students), twin rooms in the hotels Don Orione, Domus Ciliota, and Istituto Cannossiano will be at disposal. Senior researchers will be accommodated in single rooms (or double rooms upon request).

The historic center of Venice is quite small so that you can walk to most of the interesting places. In addition, you can take the waterbuses (called Vaporetto) across the famous Canal Grande or take other lines to travel to the small islands closeby. The transfer from the airport to the historic part of Venice is possible via bus or waterbus. Once in Venice, you have to take the waterbus No. 20 to reach the conference venue on San Servolo. You can check the timetables via this website and buy online.

7-days vaporetto tickets for participants

For those participants going to Venice by train on Sunday 19th, the CeNS staff will book Vaporetto-Tickets (valid for the entire stay) in advance and hand them out after arrival in Venice. These tickets are valid for all buses and waterbuses in Venice and also for the boat traffic through Canal Grande, to San Servolo and to other islands. 

In case that you do not book a conference ticket, you can buy waterbus tickets in Venice at the ACTV counters found at major waterbus/bus stations. A one-way ticket in Venice (more than one stop) costs EUR 7,50.

Boat to conference location (Linea 20)

The boat from Venice to San Servolo (No. 20) leaves from the stop "San Zaccaria" close to the Piazza San Marco; the stop is in front of the "Londra Palace Hotel". Please check the timetable available here.
