ISPH 2011, July 18-20, Barcelona

The ISPH2011 will be held in the Caixa Unnim Auditorium, a beautiful modernist building placed next to the Espai Miquel Crusafont - one of the ICP headquarters- in Sabadell (Barcelona, Spain).

We note that the original venue at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has been changed to this new location because it offers a better infrastructure to facilitate the stay to the participants.

Sabadell is one of the main cities in Catalunya, located at slightly more than 20 km north‐west of Barcelona. It is easily accessible from Barcelona – El Prat airport and is very well connected to Barcelona by train and road.

The conference will be held in the Caixa Unnim Auditorium, street d’En font nº 1, 08201 Sabadell.

How to arrive

Arriving to Barcelona

By train: The main station is “Barcelona Sants” where several international trains arrive. From this station you can take a train directly to Sabadell (see below).

By plane: Barcelona –El Prat Airport is an international airport well connected by train, bus (called Aerobus) and taxi. The airport is close to Barcelona city and we recommend going to the city by aerobus (you should get off at “Plaça Catalunya”) or by train (getting off at “Barcelona Sants”). Aerobus has a high frequency and good service.

From “Plaça Catalunya” station to Sabadell: you can take the “Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat” to Sabadell (Sabadell Rambla station). Take S2 line headed to Sabadell Rambla station and get off the train in the last station (Sabadell Rambla station). S2 line has a frequency of 10 minutes, and is our recommended
alternative.
Depending on the location of your hotel, there may be some other “Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat” station, where you can also take S2 line to Sabadell Rambla. Just look for the symbol of the “Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat” on any map of Barcelona to find the nearest station to your hotel.
