SweSRII 2018 – Växjö, 9 November

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to SWEsrii – The 10th Swedish Congress on Internet Interventions.

The Congress will be held at the Department of Psychology at the Linnaeus University in Växjö on November 9, 2018. We have invited researchers from Sweden and all over Europe to share their knowledge and experiences on using and developing Internet-based interventions.

There is no conference fee!

The aim of our conference is to contribute to the development and dissemination of best possible psychological interventions to help people in need. Most congress delegates will be Swedes, but everyone is welcome!

The SWEsrii meetings have a long tradition of a small, focused, warm, non-hierarchical, and friendly atmosphere with lots of opportunities for valuable intellectual exchanges among the delegates.

Since this will be a low cost scientific meeting we will use our facilities at the Linnaeus University Campus (3 km from the city centre), room Weber.

Linnaeus University

Linnaeus University in south-eastern Sweden is a modern university with 32,000 students. Växjö has a long tradition of education and despite its campus location the university is a natural part of the town of Växjö. Linnaeus University has close ties with the local business sector and is a major player in the development of the city.

To reach Växjö

You can reach Växjö either by flying directly to the city or by flying to Copenhagen airport Kastrup and taking a train to Växjö.

If you want to fly straight to Växjö, the airline KLM does so from the large airport hub Schiphol. There is only one flight per day, so you need to book this quickly to get a seat.

It is also easy to reach Växjö via Copenhagen airport (Kastrup) in Denmark, and then continue via train from the airport to Växjö.  It takes around two and half hours to go from the airport to Växjö. If you travel by train from Copenhangen you can find train schedule and purchase your train ticket on sj.se/en

The pedestrian path from campus around Lake Växjösjön reaches almost all the way to the city centre and is perfect for jogging or taking long walks. Växjö campus is modeled along the lines of an American-style campus and is a natural meeting place.

Bus to campus

The best way to reach campus is to take the bus no. 3 direction “Universitetet”. Our recommendation is to buy “Visitors ticket”. Then you can travel all over Växjö city and you can choose between a ticket valid during 24 or 72 hours. The ticket can be purchased on board at bus or at Customer center at Växjö railway station. If you want to pay on the bus we suggest you use your credit card. If you pay with cash there is an extra fee. The price varies between 67 SEK-144 SEK depending if you choose 24 hours or 72 or hours and your age. This information and more you will find at Länstrafiken Kronoberg

Many hotels have a bicycle if you would prefer that. It takes about 15-20 minutes by bike from city center to Linnaeus University.
