Getting to Trondheim by plane
Situated in central Norway about 400km/250mi south of the Arctic Circle, Trondheim is easily accessible, irrespective choice of transportation.

The airport nearest to Trondheim is Værnes (IATA code: TRD), situated next to Stjørdal about 32km/20mi driving distance. The Flybuss service provides convenient transport to and fro the airport, stopping right in front of the ICAM venue (Radisson Blu Royal Garden Hotel). Taxis are also available but are punishingly expensive even when shared, and even more so during late evening and night hours, weekends and public holidays.

Trondheim airport Værnes has daily direct connections with Amsterdam airport Schiphol (IATA code: AMS) operated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and to Copenhagen airport Kastrup and Arlanda airport Stockholm operated by Wideroe. A number of low-cost airlines operate direct connections with a range of other larger airports throughout Europe. With more than 40 flights daily, the connection with Gardermoen airport in Oslo is in fact the most frequent in entire Europe.

By train or bus
Trondheim Central railway station is about 700m away from the conference venue. A train ride from Oslo lasts from 6h30 to 9h20 depending on service, and may include changing trains. Detailed information can be found at the website of Norske Statsbaner NSB.

Express bus services are available to/fro Bergen and Oslo, departing from and arriving at Central Station. Detailed information is available at NOR-WAY www.nor-way.no.

By car
Driving from Oslo to Trondheim takes 7h at least, taking the E6 to Hamar and then continuing on Riksvei 3 via Tynset, to rejoin the E6 again at Ulsberg, a 500km/300mi route altogether. Without the shortcut over the Riksvei 3, the trip is some 40-50km longer, adding about 1h driving time. Be informed that speed limits mostly at 80kmh=50mph are very strict, and daytime running lights (DRL's) are obligatory. Fines of any sort are very steep and very non-negotiable. On the other hand, the landscape is very picturesque and often grand, and out of town driving is generally very relaxed.

By boat
Finally, Trondheim can be reached by the Hurtigruten coastal express (lit. “Hurry route”), the former mail boat. Alternatively, Trondheim can serve as a starting point for a trip towards the north (roundtrip: 9 days) or south (roundtrip: 3 days). Many add-on options are available (including Spitsbergen); check out the Hurtigruten website for details.
