Venue & Accomodation

Venue

JESIUM 2025 will be held at the University of Groningen, Zernike Campus.

Address: Energy Academy Europe, Nijenborgh 6, 9747 AG, Groningen

How to get there:

By Car: Park at P+R Reitdiep and take bus 1 or 2 to bus stop Nijenborgh (4 minutes), since there is very limited parking space at the University itself. We will be able to arrange parking spaces for people with disabilities (advance notice is appreciated).

By Train: From Schiphol airport you can travel to Groningen by train in about 2 hours via a direct connection, or take the train in the direction of Leeuwarden and change trains in Zwolle (after approximately one hour). Tickets can be purchased at the ticket machines at the station or online via the website of NS (https://www.ns.nl/en/tickets). You cannot reserve seats in the trains, and it is therefore not necessary to purchase the tickets in advance. (Side note: Dutch trains have designated silent compartments. Talking in these is frowned upon, so pay attention to the silence/talking icons on the train windows.)

By Bike: Zernike campus lies North of the city center. The best way to travel in the city of Groningen is to go by bicycle. Often bicycles can be rented at hotels, or else the following bike rental shop is close to the main train station:

accomodation

Stay: The conference will be held at the science and engineering campus of the University of Groningen. This campus is located at the edge of the city of Groningen. Therefore, there are no hotels at walking distance from the venue and people are recommended to stay in the city centre instead. Buses to the venue regularly depart from the street Zuiderdiep. Moreover, this street is connected by bus to and at walking distance from the Central Station and also features a number of supermarkets and restaurants. There are many hotels near Zuiderdiep, but 3 hotels recommended by the university are the Martinihotel, Cityhotel, and Flonk Hotel Groningen Centre. Alternatively, the NH Groningen Hotel is located slightly further away from the Central Station but still in the city centre and well connected by bus.
