Venue

The meeting will be held at IMDEA Madrid, with Jon Molina and his team as local organizers.
IMDEA Materials Institute is located at the Scientific and Technological Park of the Polytechnic University of Madrid in Tecnogetafe (Address: Calle Eric Kandel 2, 28906 Getafe).

Shuttle bus

MecaNano will provide a free shuttle service to and from the Atocha area (Madrid city center) to IMDEA Materials Institute in Getafe. It is highly recommended that all participants use this shuttle service, as it is the most convenient way to get to the venue.

The pick-up point is at the bus stop in front of cafeteria El Brillante, as is shown in the map below.
The pick-up time on April 26-27 is 9:15am and you will travel back at 5:15pm (see 'Final program' page for knowing the exact timing). The traveling time is approximately 30 minutes.
For MC members only, the shuttle will pick you up from the same location at 2:00pm on April 25, and will drop you back in Atocha at 5:30pm.

If you miss the meeting shuttle service, the alternative way to arrive to the venue would be by taxi (approximately 25-35 euro, travelling time from Atocha: 30 min), as public transportation options are limited. See detailed directions and map in the following link: https://materials.imdea.org/how-to-arrive/ ).
