How do I get to the hotel?
The Seminaris Hotel is a conference hotel
built in 1979 and is located in Lüneburg,
about 30 minutes from Hamburg.
Assuming you are arriving at Hamburg Airport, the easiest way to get there would be:
Follow at the airport the sign:
take the S1 (there is only one direction every 5 to 10 minutes) to Hamburg Main Station
(Hamburg Hauptbahnhof), even if written: you do not have to change at the station Ohlsdorf,
the train just gets coupled.
change to Metronom or RE i.e. ME 88217 or RE30 to Lüneburg (check individually)
From Lüneburg station it is 20 minutes on foot, or 15 min by bus (lines 5700, 5007, or 5003)
Tickets: The Hamburg short-distance public transport is called HVV.
Lüneburg is part of the total HVV network (Gesamtbereich). With a HVV “Gesamtbereich” ticket
for 8.00 € you may reach the hotel once, including Lüneburg busses.
Using a day ticket, which allows you to travel as often you like for the day, costs 17.90 €, after
9 a.m. a day ticket for a group up to 5 persons costs 24.90 €.

Special Guests:
Dr. Mihaela Sima
is a researcher at the Romanian Academy, Institute of Geography. Her main research activities
are related to the analysis of man-environment relationships in various relief units, the impact of
human activities on the environment as well as climate change impacts on different societal
fields (agriculture, cities etc.). She published over 50 publications on landscape change and
environment issues in Romania. She was a member of the research team for 15 national
projects and 6 European projects. Currently, she coordinates the IGAR team in the FP7 project
on "Enabling climate information services for Europe" (ECLISE), one of the case-studies in
Romania being devoted to climate change impacts on agriculture in a plain area, targeting a
close cooperation with farmers in identifying their needs and awareness in terms of climate
change for better adaptation measures.
