PROGRAMME. All the information concerning the scientific programme can be found here<\/a>. You will receive a printed copy of the schedule and the extended programme with your conference pack at the Reception Desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOCAL TRANSPORTATION. You can find routes by public transportation here<\/a>. OR For simplicity, install the app Info Transport Bucharest<\/em><\/strong> (Google Play<\/a> or AppleStore<\/a>) or moovit<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subway and most of the buses and trolleybuses are equipped with contactless terminals and you can pay for your trip with your (VISA, MasterCard, etc) card. The price of a trip is 3RON (approx. 0.60 EURO). If you use the subway, using the contactless terminal is a very good option (you only pay once for the journey even if you change the subway line). For buses and trolleybuses, the ticket you pay is valid for 90 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An alternative way is to install on your smartphone the official app 24pay<\/a><\/em><\/strong>), which is a simple e-wallet that allows you to make cashless purchases. Add your credit card details in the payment processor\u2019s page (24pay only stores the card\u2019s final 4 digits). All transactions are secured by Visa\/Mastercard technology. For transactions that exceed the limit (between 0 and 10 lei), fingerprint or PIN confirmation is required. Select the city where you are using the app (in our case, Bucharest) and follow the instructions. For more details, see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
