Conference venue
TYPES 2024 will be located at the IT University of Copenhagen. All talks are held in Auditorium 0 on the ground floor. The registration desk can be found on the ground floor right next to the information desk.
Further below you can find information on how to reach the university, how to travel to Copenhagen, and accommodation options.
How to reach IT University
IT University is easily reachable by metro, bike, foot or car. Almost everybody speaks English fluently, thus do not hesitate to ask for directions in case you are confused. In general, public transport and biking are the preferred ways of transportation. These are heavily used by the locals, and safe to use.
By metro
The closest metro station is DR Byen. The Copenhagen metro system has four lines. To reach IT University, you must take the M1 line towards Vestamager if coming from the city centre and get off at DR Byen. Walk near the canal and pass the big building (DR - the Danish Broadcasting Corporation) and once you reach the first street (Kaj Munks Vej) the IT University building is on the right.
Tickets can be purchased from all metro stations (but not bus stops!) using credit/debit cards or using Android and iOS apps.
By bike
Copenhagen is renowned for its extensive bike paths. IT University can be easily reached by bike from anywhere. The bike can be parked either in the building's basement (which is locked between certain hours), or just outside the building like many people do. Make sure you follow the cycling rules and have proper bike lights if you intend to bike in Copenhagen.
Many hotels have bike rentals, so please check with them in case you wish to rent a bike.
Copenhagen has an extensive bike sharing program. The bikes can be rented and parked in many places (including around ITU) using their app.
Travelling to Copenhagen
By train
Copenhagen can be easily reached by train either from Germany or from Sweden. There are multiple direct trains from these countries to Copenhagen, and the train station is centrally located, making it easy to quickly access any part of the city.
By plane
Copenhagen is very well-connected to many cities in Europe as well as to North America and Asia. There are direct flights from Toronto, New York, Boston, Washington, San Francisco, Chicago, as well as Tokyo, Bangkok and many others. From the airport, it takes DKK 30 and 15-20 minutes by metro to reach the city centre of Copenhagen. IT University is easily reached from the airport in 20-30 minutes.
By car
Denmark can be reached either on land or by taking a ferry from Germany. Note that there is no free parking at the venue. It is best to arrange parking with your hotel if planning to come by car. Otherwise, the car park in front of the building is charged per hour.
Taxis
Taxis are good quality and easily accessible at the airport. The trip from the airport to the city costs around DKK 300-350. All taxis accept major credit cards.
