Infrastructure

The campus of the ZHAW School of Management and Law (SML) is centrally located and easy to reach by public transport. Students benefit, among other things, from our modern classrooms and the ZHAW library, which with over 6,000 square meters of usable space is the largest library of any university of applied sciences in the German-speaking part of Switzerland.

Getting There

Situated 25 kilometers north-east of Zurich, Winterthur is Switzerland’s sixth largest city and offers a rich cultural life as well as excellent travel connections in all directions. It is located near Zurich’s international airport, which is only 13 minutes away by train or 20 minutes by car.

How Do I Travel To The Venue?

The main building of the university (the "Volkartgebäude") is next to the train station and can be reached on foot in 2 minutes.

Arrival By Train:

We recommend travelling by train to Winterthur train station.

 

Arrival By Car:

Thanks to the excellent public transportation network and limited public car parking in the city of Winterthur, we advise against travelling to the conference by private car. However, there are various public car parking spaces in the city of Winterthur.

Arrival By Plane:

Winterthur can be reached from Zurich Airport in 13 minutes by train. We strongly recommend not to take a taxi, but to take one of the 10 trains per hour going from Zurich Airport to Winterthur.
