ER2015

Participants in ER2015 are welcomed at a reception hosted by the City of Stockholm. It will take place at the Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset), where the Nobel prize banquet is held each year. The Stockholm City Hall is situated on the island Kungsholmen in the center of Stockholm. It is one of the foremost tourist attractions in Stockholm; please visit http://international.stockholm.se/the-city-hall/ for more information.

The City Hall is just a short walk away from the central station. For information on how to arrive there, please visit this page.

The conference dinner will be held in Vasa Museum, at the main hall (Skeppshallen) where the Vasa ship is displayed. The Vasa is a Swedish warship that was built in 1628. It sank on her maiden voyage in the Stockholm harbor, sailing only 1300 meters.

The wrechage of the ship was relocated in the 1950's. It was finally salvaged in 1961. The anaerobic waters of the Stockholm harbour helped preserve the wooden structure of the ship to a certain extent. After spending 333 years in the water, it is currently being preserved in the Vas a Museum, where it is available to see by the public. For more information about the Vasa Museum, please visit http://www.vasamuseet.se/en/

Tours in the Vasa Museum will be arranged right before the dinner.

Participants in ER 2015 who wish to join the tours should arrive at Vasa Museum at 18.30.
