USEFUL INFORMATION
Venue
The conference will be held at the “Facultad de Ciencias Económicas” (School of Economics) of the University of Buenos Aires. The address is Pres. Uriburu 795. It is located in the city center, in front of the subway station 'Facultad de Medicina' along Line D.
Transport
To get around while in the city, a good reference is wikitravel.org. The subway network reaches the conference venue and most touristic attractions, and several bus lines go all over the city. You can use http://mapa.buenosaires.gov.ar/ to plan your route. Bus and subway rides cost around us$0.50. You need to buy a card which is sold in some of the subway stations.
Accommodation
We recommend the Recoleta, Microcentro, and Barrio Norte neighborhoods, which are all close to the conference venue. Palermo is also a good choice, with a more relaxed atmosphere, but you will be travelling during rush hour in the mornings.
