Please try to book your flights as soon as possible and as economic as possible – flights to Lisbon tend to be very expensive, even though accommodation tends to be cheaper.
1. Travel and accommodation arrangements
2. Meals, coffee breaks and dinner during our meeting
I will be organising a dinner for you all on the 13th of January, so if you are attending it (whether you are eligible for reimbursement or not) please fill in the doodle as soon as possible (as this may affect the restaurant choice due to limited capacity).

(If you have any dietary restrictions please inform us in the doodle together with your name).
Coffee-breaks will be offered to all participants (whether you are eligible for reimbursement or not). We will also have a catering service for our lunches (Monday and Tuesday).
A contribution of up to 60€ may be asked towards the cost of the meals which you will be reimbursed with your OTR.
3. Venue for our meeting – how to reach us and nearby hotels
The above meetings will be held at the Faculty of Science in the University of Lisbon (Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa), building C1, Floor 3, Auditorium of FCiencias.ID (https://goo.gl/maps/RaySDSFW1Z4utmXe9). The area is very well connected by public transport: closest metro stops are “Cidade Universitária” (yellow line) and “Campo Grande” (green+yellow line), several bus connections, and the airport is less than 5km away (with metro-red line, bus, aerobus and taxi/Uber/Kapten/Bolt connections). For metro, tram, suburban train and bus you need to buy a reusable “Lisboa Viva” card (0.50€) and can top it up with any credit (“zapping” option, from 3€) and use any of these 4 means of transport.
There are
several hotels nearby (within a 20-30 minute walk distance):
Radisson Blu Hotel Lisbon – Campo Grande (the closest, under 10 minute walk)
NH Campo Grande
SANA Metropolitan Hotel
Lisbon Marriott Hotel
2/3 metro
stops away:
Hotel VIP Executive Zurique
Hotel Vip INN Berna
VIP Grand Lisboa Hotel and Spa
Turim Ibéria Hotel
Holiday Inn Lisbon Continental
Hotel 3K Barcelona
Hotel Roma
There are several hotels near the “Saldanha”, “Picoas” and “Marquês de Pombal” metro stops, and the yellow line goes directly to the university (“Cidade Universitária” or “Campo Grande”) as well – there seems to be cheaper options around these stops. Airbnb has become incredibly popular in Lisbon and there may be very cheap/pleasant options there.
Looking forward to meeting you in Lisbon in January 2020!
Kind regards,
Raquel
