Garden:
Genova, Italy
16-19 October 2023
About
The Genova garden is organized by a group of researchers from University of Genova, IRCCS Medea, Milano-Bicocca, Padova, Verona and Trento.
The Genova garden will focus on 1) the use of EEG to study typical and atypical development; 2) the state of the art of EEG-TMS and 3) good practice in M/EEG studies. The Genova Garden is an in-person event, with some sessions broadcasted across all Gardens.

Venue – How to reach the Genova Garden
Venue
The garden will take place in the Conference Room of the Computer Science Department of the University of Genoa located in Via Dodecaneso, 35. Indications to the room will be visible at the entrance.
The venue can be easily reached from Stazione Brignole using bus number 45/85/86/87 (direction East, i.e. across the street from the railway station), and stopping at the “Papigliano” stop. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about finding the venue.
You can see the location of the venue on this map
Coming to Genova by TRAIN
The nearest train station to the conference venue is Genova Brignole. There are numerous Intercity trains from Milan Central to Genova Principe (some of them continue to Brignole), approximately one every hour. There are also Eurostar, Intercity, Frecciarossa trains from RomaTermini and Turin.
Coming to Genova by BUS
Genova is well-connected to various destinations within Italy and parts of Europe by Flixbus
Coming to Genova by CAR
Getting to Genova by car is relatively straightforward, as the city is well-connected to the rest of Italy and neighboring countries.
Coming to Genova by PLANE
VOLABUS is the AMT shuttle bus service departing from Cristoforo Colombo airport to Brignole and Principe Train Stations, crossing the city centre. In 30 minutes you can get the arrival terminal or the city centre by a coach fully equipped with any comfort and a big luggage van.
VOLABUS is a direct daily, comfortable service running 7 days a week, stopping at few pick up points (to airport only pick up, from airport only drop off). Alternatively, a taxi ride between the airport and the city centre costs approximately € 30-20.
Accommodation
We recommend you to find accommodation in the city center, specifically in areas like Albaro or close to Brignole station. The venue of the conference can be easily accessed by bus.
The Capannina hotel offers a special conference rate.
