City

Saint Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia with a population over 5 million people, was founded in 1703. Inspired by Venice and Amsterdam, tsar Peter the Great placed the new Russian capital at the beautiful delta of the Neva river, and gave a start to the erection of hundreds of its magnificent palaces that still remind of its imperial grandeur. After yielding the status of capital back to Moscow in 1918, St. Petersburg retained the status of  Russia’s  “cultural capital” famous for its museums, theaters and galleries that attract millions of tourists from all over the world. St. Petersburg is also a major scientific and business  center with numerous universities, research centers and IT companies providing broad educational and career opportunities to talented students, young scientists and developers.   
 

Conference venue

The conference will take place in the northern building of HSE – St.Petersburg at 3 Kantemirovskaya street. This is a newly restored building with all necessary facilities, such as quick wi-fi and large well-equipped conference halls. The building is situated only three metro stops from the city center.

Getting to Saint Petersburg

  • BY TRAIN. St. Petersburg is the final destination of a web of intercity and suburban railways served by five different railway terminals (Baltiysky, Finlyandsky, Ladozhsky, Moskovsky, and Vitebsky). Each terminal is connected with a metro station. Train timetables can be found here.

  • BY PLANE St. Petersburg is served by the Pulkovo International Airport.  The list of international flights to/from it can be found here. From the Pulkovo Airport terminal the city bus 39 (39э in night time)  goes to the "Moskovskaya" metro station. The bus goes every 15-20 minutes from 5.40 a.m. till 0.30 a.m The trip takes 20-25 minutes. The price is about 65₽.

Getting to conference venue

  • To get there, take metro to the Lesnaya (Лесная) Station. Walk along Kantemirovskaya St. towards the Neva river for 15-20 minutes; the building will be on your left. 

  • You can also take trolleybus number 31. Walk along Kantemirovskaya St. towards the Neva river for a couple of minutes until you cross Lesnoy Prospect (a very large one). Find the trolleybus stop on the right side of Kantemirovskaya. Buy a ticket when you get in. Get off on the second stop and cross Kantemirovskaya to reach the venue. 

  • When you reach the building, go around from the left and into the yard. Please, note that what is considered the ground floor in the UK or USA, is the 1st floor in Russia. So the 4th floor (your target) will be there where you would expect the 3rd floor to be. Remember it esp. when you use the elevator and the wall signs.
