Internet
Eduroam
The University of Tromsø is part of the Eduroam service http://www.eduroam.org, so anyone coming from another Eduroam institution should be able to log on to the Eduroam Wi-Fi network using their regular username and password.
Other users
For those of you who are not linked up to the Eduroam system, an alternative Wi-Fi network – uit-conference – will be available. Password will be provided at the start of the meeting.
Transportation from/to the airport
The airport in Tromsø is located only about 10 minutes by car from the city centre, so a taxi shouldn’t set you back too much (even though Norway is an expensive country).
Alternatively, you can take the Airport Express Bus (Flybussen) to your hotel.
