-- ACCOMMODATION --

The organizers have negotiated special rates from several hotels in
Uppsala.

-- HOST CITY --

Uppsala city holds a rich history, having for long periods been the
political, religious and academic centre of Sweden.  Uppsala
University is over 500 years old and ranked among the top 100 in the
World and has hosted many great scientists over the years, for
instance Carl von Linné, Anders Celsius and Anders Jonas Ångström. The
proximity to the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, provides additional
benefits as a potential site for arranging both pre- and post congress
tours, as well as for excursions or tourism.


-- HOST INSTITUTION --

ETAPS 2017 is hosted by the Department of Information Technology,
Uppsala University.
