Venue and accommodation
The conference will take place in the building of the Faculty of Political Science and Journalism (pictured above) which is part of the University's new campus in the northern district of Morasko.
The address is:
Faculty of Political Science and Journalism
(Polish: Wydział Nauk Politycznych i Dziennikarstwa)
ul. Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego 5
61-614 Poznań
Link to Google Maps for navigation. Note that Google Maps Street View is available throughout Poznań (and Poland), and you can use it for better orientation. It even includes views inside the Political Science building.
The Morasko campus is about 7 km north of central Poznań. The two best methods of getting there are (1) by public transport (using the Rapid Tram) (11 minutes from Most Teatralny plus 5 minutes walking) or (2) by taxi/ride share (about 25 minutes from the centre).
By public transport
The campus is easily reachable by public transport using the Rapid Tram line (Poznański Szybki Tramwaj, PST). Take any line headed towards Os. Sobieskiego from the city centre (lines 12, 14, 15 and 16, e.g. from Most Teatralny – Google Maps).
Upon arriving at Os. Sobieskiego, cross the street, turn left, continue across the railway tracks, and walk along the pedestrian/bike path towards the Campus buildings. (See the walking route on Google Maps.) The Political Science building will be the second one you reach.
Public transport directions for Poznań are available on Google Maps and generally reliable. You can also use local services such as Jakdojade.pl. Live times and mapped live vehicle locations are available from the Kiedypojadę app (Android, iOS) based on your location, and the Google Maps live times are generally the same. Please make sure you check data roaming charges with your mobile operator.
All trams and some buses offer contactless payment using your regular credit/debit card. Use the terminals with the black front (NOT the orange ones). You can check the appearance of the terminal and the markings to look for on tram doors here, and some more information is here. All rapid tram stops also have ticket machines selling paper tickets which also accept card payments. You need a 15-minute ticket (priced at 4 PLN) for rides to/from the Most Teatralny and Rondo Kaponiera stops in the centre; for longer trips you will need a 45-minute ticket (6 PLN).
A general introduction to the public transport system is here.
By taxi/ride share
A taxi ride from the city centre to the venue should take about 25 minutes, depending on traffic, and cost approximately 30-35 PLN (7-8 EUR).

Internet access
The Political Science building, as well as all the other AMU buildings on the campus and in the centre, offer WiFi Internet access using the eduRoam scheme. If your home institution is a member of the system, you will be able to log on to the wireless network simply using your home login. We strongly recommend checking with your home institution to make sure you have your own eduRoam account and are able to log in wherever eduRoam is available.
For those of our guests who cannot take advantage of the above approach, we will offer a number of guest eduRoam accounts but these are limited in various ways due to the current cyber-security situation. We strongly recommend using your own eduRoam account.
Outside of AMU buildings, the centre of Poznań is covered by a free municipal network, wireless.poznan.pl. While limited in speed and requiring a log-on every hour, it is usable for emergency access.
The entire urban area has 5G mobile internet access. Note that roaming charges will apply to guests from outside the European Union; check these with your home operator. For EU guests, roaming should in general not incur additional charges.
