Specifically, it will be held at the Universitaet Zentrum - Central Campus. The Central Campus is comprised of multiple buildings, the meeting will primarily take place in building KO2, which also houses the Natural History Museum (see on a map). The best way of accessing this building is through the entrance from Karl-Schmid-Strasse, where the registration desk will be set up.

Zones: 110 is the main zone that both the Main Station (Zurich HB), the Natural History Museum and the University (Central Campus) are located in. To travel around any zone, you need only buy one day ticket (12,80 CHF) and you can use any train, tram, bus or even boat within that zone. If you transfer zones, for instance traveling to and from the airport, you will need to pay a little more.

Buying tickets: you can do this from the main station and most transit stops have ticketing machines, but it is much easier to download the SBB app and use that. The app is downloadable on both iPhone and Android. Alternatively, you can use the SBB website itself, however, we recommend the app. With the app you can also take advantage of the "Easy Ride" option - simply switch it on when you get on a tram/bus, switch it off when you hop off, and it will automatically calculate the cheapest cost for the route you took. This way you don't need to worry about looking up the names of the specific stops and buying specific tickets. You can use Easy Ride even when travelling through multiple zones or even between different cities!

Getting to the event: the event is held at the university and the Natural History Museum in the KO2 and KOL buildings (see map of campus below). The closest transit stop to these buildings is ETH/Universitätspital (highlighted in red frame and pink dots on the maps below). The trams number T10*, T9 and T6 (the direction that the tram will be going will be displayed on the app) will stop here. Alternatively, you can take the Polybahn (a cute little funicular railway that is also included in the day ticket, highlighted with yellow dots on the map below) up to the ETH campus and walk from there. This starts next to the Starbucks at the tram stop Central (stop for trams T3, T4, T6, T7, T10, T15). A full map of all the tram and bus stops in zone 110 can be accessed here.

*T stands for tram and will be displayed in the app but not on the tram itself
