Preliminary Program of IWOTA
2014
Amsterdam
Venue: Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, Vrije Universiteit, De
Boelelaan 1085, Amsterdam
To reach the Vrije Universiteit from the city centre, use the GVB ticket that is provided in the
conference material. This ticket will give you free public transport within the city of Amsterdam
for six days after the first activation.
Take either tram line 5 (from city centre) or the bus line 55 (e.g., from Amstel Station when
you are staying at hotel Casa 400) in the direction of Amstelveen. Get off at the stop called VU
(immediately after the stop Station Zuid/WTC).
When exiting the tram 5 turn left on the platform and walk to the south side of it. The bus stop
for line 55 is at this point. There, turn right, crossing the street (careful please!!!!). In front of you
is now a footpath and bike-path. Follow it, passing underneath a grey building (marked ”Initium”
on the map below). In front of you is a blue, low building (marked ”TenT” on the map below).
Continue straight, keeping that building on your left hand side. Keep on going straight, untill a
parking lot opens up to your left. There, turn left, and enter the long building that is now in front
of you at the entrance marked 1085. Enter into the building, and follow the signs to get to the
registration desk.
There are also other ways of reaching the VU campus if your hotel is not directly in reach of lines
5 or 55. Tram lines 16 and 24 stop in front of the main building (marked ”Hoofdgebouw”). Many
buses also stop within easy walking distance of the conference location. Metro line 50 has a stop
at station Amsterdam Zuid/WTC.
To reach the VU from Station Zuid/WTC you can take tram line 5 or bus line 55 in the direction
of Amstelveen (one stop), or, if you feel like a short walk, it is possible to walk it (count on ten to
fifteen minutes if you don’t know the way).

Social Program
There are several social events planned during the conference.
On Wednesday afternoon there will be a guided tour through the recently renovated Rijksmuseum.
The Rijksmuseum can be reached from the VU by tram line 5.
On Thursday the conference dinner is taking place, starting at 19.15 in restaurant Rosarium. The
conference dinner is included in the regsitration fee for participants of the conference.
How to get to the restaurant?
The walk takes about 20-25 minutes (see the map below). Find the road that runs behind the
Sciences building (the A.J. Ernststraat), and turn onto it in an easterly direction. Walk this road
all the way to the end, cross the (double) main road at the end and walk across the bridge into the
park in front of you. The restaurant is now immediately on your right hand side. Halfway down
the A.J. Ernststraat there is the possibility to take bus line 62 in the direction of Amstelstation.
Get off at the next stop for the restaurant.
Alternatively, take bus 55 to station Rai and switch to bus 62 in the direction of Station Lelylaan.
Again, it is only one stop.
How to get from the restaurant to your hotel?
To get back from the restaurant to hotel Casa 400 take bus 62 in the direction Amstelstation. To
get back to city centre, either take bus 62 to Rai station, and switch to tram line 4, or get back
to the VU and take one of the tram lines there.
Lunches
Lunch is not included in the registration fee. There are several possibilities to have lunch on
campus. There is a restaurant in the sciences building, just behind the KC rooms on the ground
floor. A larger variety may be found in the cantine/restaurant in the basement of the main
building of the university. There is a small supermarket, ”Spar”, on campus, located in the
sciences building. However, it can only be entered from outside the building. On and around the
campus there are also other possibilities.

The program has the following structure:
- Every morning from 9:00 to 10:00 there is a plenary lecture in KC 137.
- Coffee break from 10:00 to 10:30.
- Parallel semi-plenary lectures from 10:30 to 12:00 in KC 137 and KC 159.
- Lunch break 12:00-13:30.
- On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoon from 13:30 to 17:30: sessions in the
lecture rooms on the sixth floor.
- Coffee break from 15:15 to 15:45.
- Wednesday afternoon is free.
Rooms for the IWOTA 2014 conference are as follows:
- The opening session, the plenary lectures and the closing session will be held in KC 137.
- Semi-plenary lectures will be held in parallel in KC 137 and KC 159.
- Invited sessions and contributed parallel sessions are held on the sixth floor, in rooms in the
M, P and S corridors. These can be reached by elevators or stairs. There are two elevators
near the stairs, and a larger one in the main corridor.
- Coffee and tea breaks will be held in M 0, the main lobby of the Sciences building. The
registration desk will also be there, as well as the booth of Birkh¨auser.
For a layout of the ground floor see the next page.
There is wireless internet available via eduroam.
For discussions there are small lecture rooms available close to the rooms where the sessions will
