Highest School of Economics is a big research university which has many buildings in different parts of Moscow. The Faculty of Mathematics's address is Vavilova, 7. The Steklov Institute is situated in 20 minutes of walking (straight along Vavilova street) from Vavilova, 7. The participants of the conference are housed either in the building of Faculty of Mathematics or in the Steklov Institute.

Getting there from the airport

There are three international airports in Moscow: Sheremet'yevo (KLM, Air France, Aeroflot), Domodedovo (British Airways, Iberia, Lufthansa) and Vnukovo (Air Berlin, Germanwings). All three are connected to Moscow through a high-speed railway, called Aeroexpress, with moderately priced tickets (approx. $12). Taxi to Moscow would cost $100-$150, and during the day it can be very slow due to traffic jams.

The Aeroexpress timetables are available from their official site: [ Sheremetyevo | Domodedovo | Vnukovo ]. The point of arrival is a rail terminal, which is connected to a subway station: Byelorusskaya for Sheremet'yevo, Paveletskaya for Domodedovo, and Kievskaya for Vnukovo.

The map of Moscow Metro (subway) is found in Wikipedia. You should go to the orange (Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya) line, if you go from the green line, you change at Tretyakovskaya-Novokuznetskaya, if you go by the brown line, you change at Oktyabr'skaya.

The HSE Faculty of Mathematics (Vavilova, 7) building is about 200 meters from the Leninskiy Prospect metro station, and Steklov Institute is 1300 meters from Akademicheskaya and 1900 meters from Leninskiy Prospekt.

Vavilova, 7

The whole building, which is the highest building in the neighbourhood, belongs to Academy of Sciences. HSE uses only 2-nd floor (Laboratory of Algebraic Geometry) 3-rd floor (Faculty of Mathematics) and 10-th floor (the hotel). The entrance to these 3 floors is separate (from the left); you have to show your documents to the guard below and take the elevator. It is marked with "Профессорская Гостиница ВШЭ" (professors' hotel of HSE). Participants who are housed in Vavilova, 7 will receive a continental breakfast every morning.

The Vavilova, 7 building is 200 meters from the Leninskiy Prospect metro station. The Laboratory of Algebraic Geometry has a separate page with more maps and directions to the site.

Steklov Institute

Vavilova street is distinguished by having one of the tram lines, rapidly disappearing in Moscow. The tram line goes from the Universitet metro station to Oktyabr'skaya. The Steklov Institute can be reached from Vavilova, 7 by going straight along the street, as shown on the map here. The distance is approx. 1800 meters (20 minutes of walking). You can also take the tram. The tram driver sells the tickets for $.80, and they are sold cheaper at special stands.

As you go along Vavilova towards Steklov, on your right hand you see a huge building of pink brick; this is your clue that Gubkina street is next and you should turn right and enter the Steklov Institute.

For directions to Steklov, please see the maps on the webpage of Steklov Institute. You can take the tram from the Universitet metro station, or walk.

Participants who are housed at Steklov will receive a continental breakfast every morning.
