PSCC 2028 · Attending
Delft offers a compact, accessible, and memorable setting for PSCC 2028. The city combines a historic centre, strong international transport connections, Delft University of Technology, and a welcoming atmosphere for an international scientific community.
This page provides practical information to help participants plan their journey, accommodation, local transport, and stay in Delft.
Why Delft?
Delft is a historic university city with canals, cafés, restaurants, museums, terraces, shops, and a lively academic atmosphere. Its compact scale makes it easy for participants to move between the city centre, hotels, Delft Station, and the TU Delft campus.
The city is well suited to a conference week where scientific exchange continues beyond the formal sessions: during walks through the city, informal meetings, dinners, and conversations across campus and the historic centre.
