Transport and Accomodation
Flying to Copenhagen
Lund is served primarily by Copenhagen airport in Denmark. There are direct trains from the airport to Lund central station, the trip takes under 40 minutes.
The trains between Copenhagen airport and Lund are running 24/7, every 10-20 minutes daytime and every hour between 11PM and 5AM. Tickets can be bought with a credit card at the airport arrivals hall from red ticket machines labelled "Skånetrafiken", or via the official app "Skånetrafiken" (download here: Android or AppStore). The paper ticket doesn't need validation upon entering the train, but the ticket on the app has to be activated before boarding. No ticket sales on the train.
All trains departing to Sweden from Copenhagen airport stop at Lund, but do check the information displays in case there would be some unplanned changes. The train ticket to Lund is also valid for the Lund city busses for the duration of the ticket. Just scan the barcode on the scanner inside the bus or show the ticket to the driver.
Flying to Malmö
Another option is Malmö airport which is connected by a shuttle bus (Flygbussarna) to Malmö central station, the trip takes 40 minutes. From Malmö you can board a train to Lund, which takes 10-15 minutes.
The Malmö airport shuttle bus tickets can be bought at flygbussarna.se website, a ticket machine in arrivals hall, or directly from the driver (only accepts cards, no cash). Once in Malmö, the train ticket to Lund can be purchased in Skånetrafiken app (Android/AppStore) or ticket machines located at the west end of the central station (near the elevators to tracks 1-2, 3-4).

Where to stay
Lund has several hotels that are close to the conference venue, e.g. Concordia, The Bishops Arms, Best Western Plus Hotell Nordic or Hotel Lundia.

There is also Forskarhotellet Brunnshög which is situated near the Science Village and is connected to the conference venue by Lund's convenient new tram line. A good budget option is Winstrup hostel in the city centre, within walking distance from the unversity.
