The Key Science Project on Cosmic Magnetism workshop


Workshop: 19 - 20 April 2010 - 'Busy days': 21 - 23 April 2010


The nearest train station to ASTRON is Hoogeveen; from there, a taxi will bring you to ASTRON. The participants should send an email to Marjan Tibbe and Liesbet Elpenhof at the secretariat of the ASTRON Astronomy Group if they require a taxi booked from the NS station Hoogeveen to ASTRON, mentioning their arrival date and time. Approximate travel times by train from the nearest cities with airports are:

  • Schiphol/Amsterdam (Easyjet, KLM, etc) 1.5 hours
  • Eindhoven (Ryanair) 2.5 hours
  • Düsseldorf Weeze (Ryanair) 3-4 hours
  • Bremen (Ryanair) 4.5 hours
Train tables within the Netherlands as well as the international train schedules are available from the Dutch Railways here. The international train schedules can also be found from the German railways here.

Since the ASTRON institute is surrounded by a restricted access zone, participants travelling by car should communicate their car's license plate number to the institute reception at reception@astron.nl or (+31)(0)521-595 100.
