Accommodation Utrecht University

By /

As you plan your visit to the conference, please note that Utrecht is a vibrant and popular destination, but not the most budget-friendly city for overnight stays. The conference will mostly take place at the Utrecht Science Park, while social activities will take place in the city centre. Both are easily accessible.

This means you may choose accommodations near either location. To assist you, we have selected a number of good hotel options, though of course there are many more to choose from. We strongly recommend exploring possibilities and making your reservations as soon as possible to secure the best choices and rates:

  1. Via this link a number of hotels have been selected where rooms have been reserved for EAIR participants. If more participants want to use one of those hotels, more rooms will be made available at the indicated price: lennonservices.nl/congress/module/036f23b0-36a5-4220-ac7f-1d9cfab164e6/hotel?thema_id=44
  2. If you are looking for a slightly cheaper option, you can book a room in the BUNK hotel, Stayokay Hostel or Hostel Strowis. Please contact the accomodation directly for more information.
  3. If you would like to extend your time in Utrecht and would prefer to arrive earlier, or stay in the same accommodation for a little longer, contact the Utrecht hotel service directly at info@hotelserviceutrecht.nl  and they can try to make the arrangements for you. If you would like to book multiple rooms together for a group you can also contact this hotelservice.

We will provide more hotel options in the next weeks, but don’t wait to explore options yourself, as Utrecht has plenty of accommodation options.

Sustainable Travel Ideas for the EAIR Cork Forum

Travelling from Europe

Visitors from Europe can travel via Eurostar from Paris to London and from there by train to Wales and by boat to Dublin. Travellers can then take the train or bus to Cork. Alternatively, there is a daily boat connection from Roscoff or Calais (in Northern France) directly to Ringaskiddy, Cork.

Travelling from the UK

There are ways to travel to and from Ireland without flying, as there are train and bus services that link with ferry services across the Irish Sea which connect several ports in England, Wales and Scotland with Irish ferry ports of Rosslare, Dublin or Belfast with ongoing travel by car, bus or train. 

Cross County Rail Services

Where taking a flight is necessary, attendees are encouraged to consider direct flights to Ireland (Cork, Dublin) airports and to use cross country rail services where a direct flight to Cork is not possible.

Travel options in Cork

Cork is a city where active travel options are both available and encouraged – walking and cycling.  Visitors to Cork City can get a 3 day TFI bike subscription.

All accommodation options and EAIR Forum venues in Cork can be accessed easily by foot. 

Offsetting Travel Emissions

Forum attendees are invited to offset the unfavourable impact of air travel by combining attendance at the Cork forum with other meetings in Ireland, the UK and Europe. 

Forum attendees who wish to consider sustainable travel options may also wish to combine their attendance at the Cork EAIR Forum with their annual holiday and by so doing minimise the number of air flights taken in 2024.
