Getting in
Oslo Gardermoen Airport (IATA: OSL) is the main airport for Oslo. From the airport you can take train or bus. For train, you can take either the Flytoget express train or local trains operated by Vy (Oslo Lufthavn - Oslo S). For bus, you want to take Flybussen. See also this entry in Wikitravel.
At the moment there is no restriction related to COVID-19, but you can find the current travel restrictions to Norway here.
Getting around
Oslo has a good public transport operated by Ruter. Beware that there are few ticket machines. You either buy an electronic ticket on your smart phone through their mobile app, or get a physical ticket from a kiosk shop (https://ruter.no/en/buying-tickets/sales-outlets/). Other than traveling from and to the airport, Zone 1 should be enough to get around.
Location
The conference takes place at University of Oslo, Blindern campus, Vilhelm Bjerknes' hus, Auditorium 4. See the public transport guide and the campus map to find your way.
Lunch
We do not organize lunch for participants, but the university canteens are open during the period. The main canteen is Frederikke spiseri, just across the main campus square from Vilhelm Bjerknes' hus. Other options can be found from this page (use the filter to narrow to Blindern campus).
Conference dinner
Conference dinner: we organize a conference dinner at Benares restaurant (Tordenskiolds gate 8) on Wednesday, 18:00. The meal and one drink are covered by our funding, and we ask you to pay for additional drinks.
Currency
Norway has its own currency, Norwegian Krone. However, practically every business accepts credit cards, so usually you do not have to carry large amounts of cash, if any at all. ATMs are called minibank.
Accommodation
There are many hotels that can be booked either directly or via standard hotel aggregator sites such as booking.com and hotels.com. Scandic and Thon are two major hotel chains.
