Conference venue and directions
Here is a map with all buildings of University of Geneva.
* Le Pavillon Mail n'est pas Uni Mail, c'est un bâtiment universitaire qui vient d'être inauguré cet été. Il est situé à côté d'Uni Mail, en face d'Uni Pignon.
To get there from the airport, the simplest and quickest way is to take a train (40 min). Just before going out of the arrival - luggage hall and moving towards exit, there is a machine which distributes free tickets to passengers arriving, for a one hour ride all over Geneva in all public transports. (Anyway, a single ticket for one hour costs CHF 3 or € 2.) Follow the sign "Geneve - Centre" at the airport train station and take any train, they all trains stop at the main train station (first stop). Then take the tram as indicated below.
To get there from the train station, take trams 13 or 15 direction Palettes to Plainpalais. (10 mins, ticket 3 CHF or 2eur to be bought at the tram stop.)
To move around in Geneva, the simplest way by far is to use public transportation - and if you have booked an hotel in Geneva, they have to provide you with a free day pass for all public transportation, do not forget to ask for it. The public transport company (TPG) have a useful route planner.The locations of the bus and tramway stops around the department and the main university building (Bastions) are indicated on the following plan, which is downloadable as gif, pdf and jpg (courtesy eidos!).
