Location: Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Largo A. Gemelli 1, 20123 Milano,

Accommodation Below is a list of hotels which are near the University campus (walking distance or near a metro station) and cover a broad range of prices. We don’t have a special rate for the ExSIDE workshop but, based on previous experience; it is easier – and often cheaper – for participants to book directly. A word of advice: it would be a good idea to book early because the number of visitors to has risen significantly in the last 2-3 years and you may not be able to find a room in the hotel of your choice.
