Getting to the University of Lausanne (UNIL) from the Lausanne train station is best done by taking the metro. From the main entrance of the train station (on north side of train station, near track 1), you will cross the street to access the M2 metro at the station “Lausanne-Gare”. Take the M2 (direction: Croisettes) for one stop (descend at “Lausanne-Flon”). Take the stairs or elevator up one floor to switch to the other metro line, the M1 (direction: Renens-Gare) and travel six stops to “UNIL-Dorigny” to go to the Anthropole building, or 7 stops to “Unil-Mouline” to go to the Geopolis building. It takes approximately 20 minutes to go from Lausanne main train station to the campus. For further information, see public transportation website Most hotels provide free day travel cards for their customers valid for public transportation, make sure to ask your hotel's front desk if they offer this service. Conference location The conference will take place in two buildings, Geopolis and Anthropole located within the campus of the University of Lausanne (UNIL). Anthropole is located next to the “Unil-Dorigny” metro stop. Geopolis is located next to the “Unil-Mouline” metro stop. It will take you approximately 8 minutes to go from one building to the other.
