Practical information

Venue and accommodation

The conference will be held at the Radisson Blu Royal Garden Hotel, Kjøpmannsgata 73, Trondheim, Norway. The hotel lies next to the beautiful Nidelva river, a stone’s throw from the town’s major sites. A number of rooms have been blocked for us until 3 January. Use the following Booking link to secure yours.

Getting there

The simplest way to get to the hotel from the airport is by bus. Tickets cost NOK 220 per person and the bus will drop you off close to the hotel (the nearest stop to Royal Garden is Bakkegata, just across the bridge). Departures are frequent and reservation is not necessary.

The train is also an option since it stops right at the airport. It costs NOK 45 if you buy the ticket in advance (+40 if you buy it on the train). There are fewer departures though, so do check the screens at the airport to see when the next train comes. Hop off at Trondheim S, from there, it’s a short walk (500m) to the hotel.

Several taxi companies offer service to town at fixed prices. Prices can vary significantly from one company to another, and according to factors like the time of day and the number of passengers. Do enquire before departure.

Climate and tourist info

In Trondheim in January you can expect daily highs of -2°C and lows of -6°C. You can find an overview of the temperatures in Trondheim on the yr.no website.

Other tips and general tourist information are available at visitnorway.com. You might want to take a look at their page about Trondheim.

Information for conference presenters and chairs

The conference will be held through the online portal OnAIR. You will receive a personal link to the OnAIR Conference Portal 7 days before the conference starts. The underlying video meeting program used by the portal is Zoom. We recommend using an updated Zoom client.

Once you receive your link to the OnAIR portal, you can log on an familiarize yourself with it. We are setting up two test sessions where you can learn how to use the portal.

OnAIR test sessions for conference presenters and chairs

We are holding two test sessions where you can learn how to use the OnAIR online portal. You can choose either of them or join both if you wish. The test sessions are available in the OnAIR Conference portal (you will receive a link 7 days before the start of the conference).

At those sessions, a representative from NTNU Conference will give you information about the portal and you will have time to check sound and picture, and how to share your screen.

On the day of your presentation

  • Meet up at the start of the break before your session (at the latest). This will allow the chair to brief you, and give us some time to check and upload your presentation and bio.
  • The session chair will introduce you briefly before you start.
  • Keep within the times and generally keep your Power Point or pdf presentations simple. Bringing along advanced codes for running simulations (for example) during presentations often does not work.
