How to get to the bloxberg summit and the DESCI for sustainability conference in Geneva
The bloxberg summit and the DESCI for sustainability conference will take place on the 17th and 18th of October at the University of Geneva in the Battelle building.
To get there from the main station Cornavin, use the tram line 18 direction Palettes and exit at the stop Carouge Rondeau (Don’t use tram line 15 that also goes to Palettes but does not pass Carouge Rondeau).
If you arrive at the airport, go to the underground train station and take any train. The next stop is Geneva main station (Cornavin) where you need to exit to tram line 18 (see above).
For a timetable look at the site of the Geneva transports TPG.
You need to buy a ticket for “Tout Genève (Zone 10)” which costs 3 CHF or 3,10 Euros. You can also pay with Euros or a credit card. You can also buy the ticket by sending a text message with tpg1 to 788 (if you are logged into the Swiss network). However be sure, that you get the confirmation before boarding the train or tram. Roaming surcharges may apply. Further information can be found here.
From the tram stop, it is a short walk to the building that is located in a park. Please follow this photo or use Google Maps.
You can use a cab as well, which is not really faster, but you should expect to pay 40-50 CHF.
