Practical information

How to get to CERN?

Please find instructions on how to get to CERN here. (Please note that this is an official CERN page. The link to the "Registration service" is hence not relevant!)

Access to the CERN site

Access to the CERN site is granted only to individuals in possession of an access card. The card can either be a long term CERN access card, for those that have an affiliation with CERN, or a short term visitor's card for those without an affiliation with CERN. Visitor cards have been prepared for the participants requiring one. Before going to the workshop venue please pass by the CERN Reception (building 33) to collect your visitor card (passport required).

Can I enter the CERN site with my car?

Yes, but a special visitor parking badge is needed. In order to get this, please send the organizer your license plate numbers. The visitor parking badge needs to be collected from the CERN Reception (building 33), same place as for the visitor cards.

Where is the CERN hostel? How to get in touch with them?

The CERN hostel is located in buildings 3839 (reception), and 41. Check MapSearch to locate buildings on the CERN site. Please go to http://gs-dep.web.cern.ch/en/CERN_Housing for all information related to the CERN hostel.

Does the CERN hostel offer breakfast?

No, but there is a Restaurant ("Restaurant 1", building 501) located next to the hostel buildings.

Where is the conference room?

The workshop will take place in CERN Data Centre, building 513, 1st floor ('1'), room 24.

Getting around the CERN site

Below you have a map showing the points of interest for the workshop. Clicking on the image will provide you with a full resolution version of the map.



The dashed orange line shows the path from the CERN Reception (building 33) to the CERN Data Centre (building 513). The dashed blue line shows the path from the CERN hostel to the CERN Data Centre.

CERN Maps are available for the desktop, Android and iOS.

As there are many roadworks currently going on inside and around CERN please observe the path that need to be taken by pedestrians.

Wi-Fi on site

Eduroam is available on the CERN site. If you do not have eduroam access, please consider registering your device in advance, indicating one of the organisers as the contact person. After registration (and some manual validation), you will be able to connect to the CERN ssid.
