Venue – How to reach the Montreal Garden
Venue
The conference will be held at the amphitheater Le Groupe Maurice at the CRIUGM (Centre de Recherche de l’Institut Universitaire de Gériatrie de Montréal), University of Montreal. Please note that the venue is located near the main UdeM campus and close to the Oratoire St Joseph and can be easily reached by bus and metro (Côte-Des-Neiges and Snowdon Station).
Coming to Montreal by TRAIN
Situated in downtown Montreal, the Montréal Central train station is well-connected to numerous Canadian cities, including Quebec City, Ottawa, and Toronto. You can find more information about train routes and schedules at the following link: https://www.viarail.ca/en/explore-our-destinations/stations/quebec/montreal
The train station is also conveniently located near a metro station, making commuting upon arrival easy.
Coming to Montreal by BUS
Montreal boasts a sizable bus station that connects the city with various destinations throughout Quebec and Canada.
Coming to Montreal by CAR
Getting to Montreal by car is straightforward, as the city is well-connected to the rest of Quebec and Canada through highways such as:
- Autoroute 20
- Quebec Autoroute 40
- Highway 417
- Highway 28
- Further details about traffic conditions can be found at this link: https://mobilitymontreal.gouv.qc.ca/network-condition/traffic/
- Nearly all areas of the city can be accessed using these highways. If you are traveling to Montreal by car, there are more than 450,000 parking spaces available at various locations throughout the city. Additionally, you can rent cars to move around the city and the province of Quebec using services like communeAuto. There are also several ridesharing services, such as Kangaride, that are commonly used to explore the city.
Coming to Montreal by PLANE
Montreal Airport, officially named Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, is the international airport serving Montreal Island, located 20 km away from the city center. YUL Airport offers non-stop flights to North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. It serves as a hub for Air Canada, Air Transat, and OWG. The airport is connected to a line of express buses (The 747: 24/7 shuttle service) that make commuting to and from the city center convenient.
Accommodation
We highly recommend finding accommodation in Downtown Montreal or Côte-Des-Neiges. The conference venue can be easily accessed by bus, metro, or even walking from these areas. Multiple-journey tickets can be purchased at metro stations, while cash is required to pay for bus journeys. For accommodation options, you can visit the official Montreal Accommodations website, where you’ll find a comprehensive list of hotels, hostels, student hostels, and last-minute offers: https://www.mtl.org/en/Accommodations

The UNIQUE center strives to build a community where acceptance and respect are among its most important values. Behavior that violates the code of conduct will not be tolerated. Anyone engaging in such behavior will be banned or expelled from this event.
The main important concept ruling this code of conduct is respect. Respect can take many forms:
- respect of the origins (physical appearance, nationality, ethnicity, etc.)
- respect of the beliefs (religious, cultural, etc.)
- respect of the age
- respect of the gender identity (or preferences)
- respect of the status
- respect regarding physical or mental handicap
- respect regarding personal experiences (academic and others)
- respect regarding differences in general
Difference is what makes each individual unique, and what allows each of us to bring our special contribution to our research community. It shouldn’t be used to discriminate, it should be encouraged and supported.
Reporting: Should you encounter a situation that makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible to any member of our team presented above or to our email. We will proceed to appropriate actions.
