September 13-15: We meet in the "New Library", Georg Sverdrup's building at the University of Oslo, Blindern.
The Blindern Campus of the University is just outside the city center and can be easily reached by public transportation from any point in the city. You can get to campus by subway (T-bane) number 3, 5 or 4/6 (stop: Blindern) or by tram number 17 or 18 (stop: Universitetet Blindern). NB! Due to work on the rails, buses are replacing the tram on parts of trajectory in September.
