New Trends
in Complex and Harmonic Analysis

an international conference on Analysis and Mathematical Physics

May 7-12, 2007 Voss, Norway



Arrival and Transport
It is easy to go to Voss from Bergen. We suggest two possibilities: train and conference bus. There is a train from Oslo but it takes much longer to get to Voss.

Train
Local trains go almost every hour from Bergen (Central Railway Station) to Voss.  The hotel is within a walking distance from the Voss railway station. The  journey is 1 hour and costs around 25 Euro.

Please click here to see the train timetable Bergen-Voss or vice versa (english version).

Airport bus
There is an airport bus that goes frequently from the Bergen Airport "Flesland" to the Downtown. It takes 25 minutes and costs 75 NOK (approx 10 Euros). It stops at the Bus and Railway Stations which situate within a common area.

Conference bus
We will have a welcoming desk at the airport on May 6, please look for the sign "Analysis 2007" and report to the welcoming desk when you arrive.

We kindly ask the participants to use the conference bus which is free. It will start from the Airport Bergen and will stop at Festplassen (a square near a small lake with a fountain in the City Center, the side of the lake opposite to the railway station) at the enrance to the hotel "Radison SAS hotel Norge" and will go directly to the hotel 2 times on Sunday, May 6, 2007 at 17:00 and 24:00 from the Airport and approx. 17:30 and 00:30 (May 7) from Festplassen ("Radison SAS hotel Norge").

Some useful hints:
  1. If you travel from your country to Bergen/Voss, the best hubs of connection are Copenhagen and Amsterdam. In Oslo you will be asked to withdraw you luggage (even it is checked to final destination) and to check-in again which is time consuming and the connection can be easily lost.
  2. Norwegians are very friendly and speak good English, so please do not hesitate to ask them the way.
  3. You can find maps of Bergen and other useful information at
