Transportation

Constanta is served by TAROM the Romanian Airlines and also by the SNCFR the National Railroad Transportation Company. You could reach Bucharest by one of the numerous flight that connect the Romanian capital with the major Europeans airports. You could enjoy in this way a three hours trip by train travel into the heart of Dobrogea and be amazed by the Cernavoda bridge, a "chef d'oeuvre" in bridge construction, the largest bridge in the world when it was built in 1895, or just look at the Danube-Black Sea Channel. The other option is to take a flight to Constanta (Mihail Kogalniceanu Airport) from Bucharest and reach the Conference location with the numerous shuttles or cabs available at the airport.
We plan to assist with the transport from Bucharest to Mamaia the participants arriving Sunday June 12-th with minibuses, and we shall do it at the very end of the school, in reverse direction. For all of these there will be detailed info on this website, later. Alternatively, there is good and easy commercially available transportation. From Bucharest one can pick a train, or a minibus. It is about 3 hours (250 km) to Constanta (cost under 10 euros), then local public transportation to Mamaia, bus or taxi from the train station.
