Venue and how to get there

Jönköping University, Jönköping, Sweden

Jönköping is a mid-sized town in the south of Sweden. It is beautifully placed directly at Vättern, Sweden’s second largest lake, and tucked in between deep forests and hilly mountains. With old history including vikings and innovative industrialisation, today, the city is a fast growing, modern city with both plenty of culture and fine dining. However, the highlight of the city is the close proximity to nature as Jönköping is one of Sweden’s most active and outdoor towns with popular activities ranging from water-sport to mountain biking to skiing. Each year it hosts a range of sports and culture events such as Jönköping Marathons, Triathlons and vintage cars and bike shows.
