Accommodation

In Milan you can find many accomodation solutions (e.g., hotels, flats, etc.) with widely varying prices. However, we are aware that accomodation prices in Milan are somewhat higher than the italian average.

Discounted rates at many hotels in Milan will be made available to participants to the Magnet2024 conference. Details on how to get such discounted rates will be sent by e-mail upon registration acknowledgement.

The conference will take place in the Sala Napoleonica of the Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere, located in the famous Palazzo di Brera. To reach the conference hall, enter Palazzo di Brera (via Brera 28, Milano) passing through the archway, then turn right as soon as you reach the porch. You’ll find the Reception Hall on the right and the Sala Napoleonica just in front of you.
