Link to Google Maps for navigation. Note that Google Maps Street View is available throughout Poznań (and Poland), and you can use it for better orientation. It even includes views inside the Political Science building.
The Morasko campus is about 7 km north of central Poznań. The two best methods of getting there are (1) by taxi/ride share (recommended; journey time of about 25 minutes from the centre) and (2) by public transport (less convenient than usual due to roadworks at several locations; in particular, the Rapid Tram line is down for maintenance and the trams are probably not going to run at the time of the conference).
Please note that any pricing, exchange rates, etc. provided below are only approximate and should be checked firsthand in case that info is important.
By taxi/ride share
A taxi ride from the city centre to the venue should take about 25 minutes, depending on traffic, and cost approximately 30-35 PLN (7-8 EUR).

Ride share

taxis.
By public transport
The rapid tram line is down for maintenance at the moment, it is not clear whether it will be up and running during the conference; even if you know the Poznań public transport system from previous visits, use caution and allow extra time.
- From the Most Teatralny or Rondo Kaponiera interchanges, take trams 4 or 15 (towards Połabska), or 3 or 10 (towards Błażeja). (The destinations are displayed above the windshield at the front of the )
- Get off at the third/fourth stop (Armii Poznań). (Stop names are announced over
loudspeakers and displayed on displays next to the driver’s cab.)
- Cross the street to the bus stop and change to bus T12 and continue until the os. Sobieskiego
- Upon arriving at os. Sobieskiego (see the final bus stop on Google Street View), continue along the street to cross the bus terminus under the roof, turn right, continue along the railway tracks, cross them, and walk along the pedestrian/bike path towards the Campus buildings. (See the walking route on Google Maps.) The Political Science building will be the second one you reach.
Public transport info for Poznań is available on Google Maps and generally reliable. You can also use local services such as Jakdojade.pl. Live times and mapped vehicle locations are available from the Kiedypojadę app (Android, iOS) based on your location. Please make sure you check data roaming charges with your mobile operator.
Internet access
The Political Science building, as well as all the other AMU buildings on the campus and in the centre, offer WiFi Internet access using the eduRoam scheme. If your home institution is a member of the system, you will be able to log on to the wireless network simply using your home login. We strongly recommend checking with your home institution to make sure you have your own eduRoam account and are able to log in wherever eduRoam is available.
For those of our guests who cannot take advantage of the above approach, we will offer a number of guest eduRoam accounts but these are limited in various ways due to the current cyber-security situation. We strongly recommend using your own eduRoam account.
Outside of AMU buildings, the centre of Poznań is covered by a free municipal network, wireless.poznan.pl. While limited in speed and requiring a log-on every hour, it is usable for emergency access.
The entire urban area has LTE mobile internet access. Note that roaming charges will apply to guests from outside the European Union; check these with your home operator. For EU guests, roaming should in general not incur additional charges.
