The WDSA/CCWI Joint Conference
Venue
The conference will be hosted by the University of Ferrara, Science & Technology Campus, Via Saragat 1, 44122, Ferrara (Italy).
How to get to the Conference Venue
To reach the Scientific & Technology Campus from the city centre, many options are available:
by Bus
You can reach the WDSA-CCWI venue from the city center using the urban bus.
LINE 7, LINE 3 and LINE 4
Many urban lines arrive at the Ferrara railway station. From here, the congress venue is easily accessible on foot, approximately 15 minutes away (about 1 km).
#GO CONTACTLESS system is available in all the city buses, by paying directly on the new green validators with contactless cards from the Mastercard, Visa, Maestro, and VPay circuits, without additional fees or the need for advance purchase. The system guarantees the best fare for the day, automatically calculating the fare at the end of each service period. The validator confirms payment via a green light, sound, and message, with a pre-authorization SMS from the bank. Even when changing buses, you won't risk paying twice within the 75-minute validity from the first validation: it is crucial to always use the same payment method when boarding each bus. The system ensures secure transactions and adheres to international POS standards.
