==  Venue  ==

The next ALPS developer workshop will be held on Friday - Monday, June 8 to June 11, on 
the H&ouml;nggerberg campus of the ETH Zurich, Switzerland ([http://www.ethz.ch http://www.ethz.ch]).


The meeting room will be [http://map.search.ch/8049-zuerich/schafmattstr.-32?z=1024&poi=verkehr&s=0 Paulizimmer on HPZ E floor (preliminary)]
in the Institute for Theoretical Physics, the building HPZ.

==  Travel to Zurich  ==

Zurich is well connected to the national and international railway system. Timetables can
be found on: [http://www.sbb.ch/en/index.htm http://www.sbb.ch/en/index.htm]
H&ouml;nggerberg campus can be reached by various busses, please check [http://www.zvv.ch our local bus schedule].

H&ouml;nggerberg campus is only a 5 minutes train ride and 10 minutes bus ride away from Zurich International Airport and about 25 minutes away from Zurich main station.

*From the airport, you take the train to `Oerlikon' station and then take the bus No. 80 at the bus stop `Bahnhof Oerlikon Nord' and get off at the bus stop `ETH H&ouml;nggerberg'.

*From the main station, take the street car No. 11 to `Bucheggplatz' and there switch to the bus No. 69 and keep aboard until its final stop at `ETH H&ouml;nggerberg'. Probably this is the shortest among the several paths between the main station and H&ouml;nggerberg campus.

More detailed instructions on how to reach H&ouml;nggerberg campus are available on the [http://www.ethz.ch/about/location/hoengg ETH webpage in German] [http://www.ethz.ch/about/location/hoengg/index_EN (same in English)]

Once there, you will have to find [http://www.immobilien.ethz.ch/gebaeude/situation/hoengg/Hoenggerberg.pdf building HPZ].
From the bus stops located between the buildings HIL and HPI, first you pass the building HCI on your right and turn to the left in front of a wide conference-center-looking building called HPH.
Then approach the ponds in the middle of the campus. Now you will see on your right a high building with some radars on top of it. That is the building HPP and the wanted HPZ is located before HPP from your position.
