Location and transportation
- Location: BIOCEV research center — Průmyslová 595, 252 50 Vestec
- Public transport: “Vestec – BIOCEV” by buses 326 / 331 from Opatov (metro C). Alternatively, buses 332, 335, 337, 339 from Budějovická to “Vestec, Safina” followed by a 700–800 m walk.

- Boarding note: since Aug 2025, you may board any door with a valid ticket (app). Otherwise, board front door, show the ticket, and tell the driver your stop: “Biocev” (or “Safina” from Budějovická).
Accommodation
- Accommodation is not centrally organized; participants book their own. We recommend staying near bus routes to Vestec (ideally around Opatov — metro C) or anywhere on metro C south of “Pankrác”.
