Workshop on Labor Supply and Inequality within Families

For now a save-the-date for our coming Workshop on Labor Supply and Inequality within Families (LIFE) hosted by Thomas Høgholm Jørgensen. More information will follow as soon as possible. 

 

The LIFE workshop will take place at the Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen, Østerfarimagsgade 5, Building 35 (entrance from Gammeltoftsgade 15), 1353 Copenhagen.
When you enter in building 35, the workshop will take place on the 3rd Floor, Room 13 (35.3.13).

From the airport

When you arrive at Copenhagen Airport, the easiest way to CEBI is by metro. The journey from Copenhagen Airport to CEBI takes approximately 30 minutes. The Metro trains run from the far end of the arrival hall in terminal 3, where international flights all arrive.
CEBI is located approximately 750 metres from Nørreport Metro Station. Take M2 directly to Nørreport Metro Station.

Journey Planner – travel information from the airport to City Campus

Remember to buy your ticket (3 zones) at the airport, before boarding the metro. You can buy your ticket in ticket machines, which accept Danish cash and the most common credit cards.
From Nørreport Metro Station you can walk down Frederiksborggade and turn right onto Nørre Farimagsgade. The University is on your left hand, but the easiest way to get to CEBI is by walking past the university and turn left on Gammeltoftsgade. From there you can enter building 35 directly. See directions on the map below.
