Plan both conference days with confidence.
The onsite programme takes place at two locations across the Lisbon region. This page provides practical recommendations for accommodation, transport and arrival while leaving participants free to choose the arrangements that suit them best.
Choose the base that matches your priorities.
There is no required accommodation area. Our main recommendation is based on balancing access to both programme days with time in Lisbon. Select an option below to compare the practical differences.
Cais do Sodré or Santos
This is the most balanced base for participants who want to stay in central Lisbon while retaining practical access to both conference locations.
These are practical recommendations rather than required booking areas. Participants may stay elsewhere according to their budget, preferences and wider travel plans.
A conference day followed by a research and innovation visit.
Day 1 is the main conference programme at Riviera Hotel Carcavelos. On Day 2, registered onsite participants will take part in a research and innovation visit to the NOVA School of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon.

Select a journey below. Exact travel times depend on your starting point, traffic and the transport schedule on the day.
Central Lisbon to Riviera Hotel Carcavelos
Rail option
Travel to Cais do Sodré and take the Cascais railway line towards Carcavelos. From Carcavelos station, continue to the hotel on foot or by a short local ride.
