VENUE
The EMBRACE workshop on January 24 - 26 will take place at the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis (CBS) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in building 208, room 062. DTU is located in Lyngby, 10 km north of Copenhagen. You can get to DTU in Lyngby by car or by public transportation. Several busses stop almost at the door and Lyngby Station is just 2 km away with even more bus connections.

TRANSPORT
There are trains every ten minutes from the Copenhagen Airport train station to Nørreport Station in the centre of Copenhagen. At Nørreport Station, bus no. 150 S leaves approximately every ten minutes and stops at DTU. The price of a ticket for this journey is around DKK 60. Alternatively, you can take the s-train (S-tog) from Copenhagen Central Station in the direction of Hillerød and Holte (Line A, B & E). All of these trains will stop at Lyngby station from where you can get the bus 300 S in the direction of Nærum/Kokkedal and get off at DTU.

A taxi ride from Copenhagen Airport to DTU costs around DKK 375 and takes from 25 minutes and up (1 hour in connection with pre-ordering a taxi). From the centre of Copenhagen to DTU, a taxi ride takes about 30 minutes and costs approximately DKK 175.

ACCOMMODATION
Accomodation has not been pre-booked for participants and thus participants must ensure that they make these bookings themselves and as soon as possible.
In Lyngby, Hotel Scandic Eremitage is the closest situated hotel to DTU.

If you are interested in staying in central Copenhagen it is worthwhile checking out the following website where cheaper accommodation can be found Hotels in Copenhagen . If you book accommodation in Copenhagen, we recommend that you find a hotel close to Copenhagen central station or Nørreport station, from where transport to Lyngby is easy.

COSTS/WORKSHOP
CBS will organise and pay for lunch for all participants throughout the workshop and also cater for drinks and coffee breaks. A workshop dinner will be arranged on Thursday evening, where costs are covered by the EMBRACE funding. However, participants will have to cater for dinner on Wednesday evening themselves.
Also, all travel, transport and accommodation costs will not be reimbursed by the organisers, but should be covered by participants' own budget.

All inquiries concerning the workshop should be directed to Hanne Lundgaard.
