> from schiphol airport , direct trains to hengelo / enschede leave every hour during daytime . in addition , trains with destination groningen / leeuwarden may also be taken ; for these , a connection train to hengelo / enschede waits in amersfoort at the other side of the same platform . in all cases , the travelling time is approximately two hours and a half . if you arrive by train , you should leave the train in hengelo , rather than in enschede ; this will shorten your trip with 10 minutes . a cheap taxi ticket ( called ` treintaxi ' ) can be bought at hengelo railway station upon arrival by showing the train ticket . the fare is fixed ( dfl 6 per person ) for every destination in the neighbourhood , but usually the taxi is to be shared with others . you could also take a bus from hengelo station to the campus ( no . 15 or 51 ) . bus no . 15 has a stop near the vrijhof building . bus no . 51 stops at the campus entrance ; it takes a 10 minutes walk from there to the vrijhof . by car , take direction enschede and in enschede follow ` universiteit ' . accommodation the nearest hotel is the drienerburght hotel at the campus of the university of twente , near the conference site ( less than 50 metres ) . the hotel phone number is + 31 53 331366 and the fax number is + 31 53 356770 . please let us know if you would like us to make a reservation for you . looking forward to seeing you all in enschede , the local organizers , anton nijholt toine anderhach
