How to get to the Dezember 2009 Paul Scherrer Institute

PSI is located in northern , approximately midway between and . The nearest towns and railway stations are Baden and . Frequent air and train connections via Zürich or Basel are available from all major European cities. Organizers: To reach PSI by public transport PSI-AIC-SCCr/SGK Summer School on Brugg is on the train line (Zürich–Basel, Zürich–). You Radovan C˘erny´ (Uni-, CH) can take a public bus (Postauto) from Brugg railway station. Take the Brugg–PSI–Böttstein–Döttingen bus, and within Antonio Cervellino (SLS/PSI, CH) Diffraction at the Nanoscale 20 minutes you will arrive at PSI. Simona Galli (Uni-Insubria, IT) When you land at the airport Fabia Gozzo (SLS/PSI, CH) There is an SBB railway station at the International Airport Nanocrystals, Defective and Antonietta Guagliardi (IC-CNR, IT) at Zürich-Kloten. Take the train to Brugg and a public bus Amorphous Materials (Postauto) from Brugg railway station to Villigen PSI. Norberto Masciocchi (Uni-Insubria, IT)
