United by Future Places
Beyond the Obvious 2024
Malmö, Sweden 29 May - 1 June 2024

We are aware that conferences and large events have an environmental impact. We are conscious of the role we play as hosts and are trying to reduce our footprint! Join our efforts to make the United by Future Places gathering more environmentally friendly. Use public transport, walk (if possible) to the venues, bring from home  your reusable water bottles, mugs and headphones to use for interpretation. From the organisers’ end, we aim to reduce our environmental impact by minimising printed material and proposing local, vegetarian and vegan choices for the catering. We are keeping our digital footprint small by committing to in-person dialogue without use of livestreaming or video conferencing.

Getting there​

 

Reaching Malmö from Copenhagen is fast and easy. The distance between Copenhagen and Malmö is only 30 km. Remember to bring your passport and you’re good to go with one of these means of transportation.

 

Copenhagen to Malmö by train

 

Trains depart from København H (Copenhagen Central Station) every 20 minutes and the travel time is only 35 minutes to the centre of Malmö. You can also take a direct train to Malmö from Copenhagen Airport. You can get to Copenhagen Airport by both train and metro. Please note that border authorities carry out ID inspection at Copenhagen Airport for travelers going to or from Malmö (or elsewhere in Sweden). Tickets from the capital area to Southern Sweden are available for purchase at DSB Sales & Service within the capital area, 7-eleven stations or ticket machines.

 

Copenhagen to Malmö by bus

 

On Ingerslevsgade, right off Copenhagen Central Station, you’ll find buses like Flixbus taking you back and forth.

​

Stockholm to Malmö by train

​

Reaching Malmö from Stockholm takes more time,  but if you don't want to miss the opportunity to visit the charming capital of Sweden, you can rely on the Stockholm - Malmö railway route. For your 585 km journey in Sweden you can actually select from a few trains - Intercity, high-speed or comfort night train. Depending on your chosen departure and train, you will reach your destination from 4,5 to 7 hours. You can book your ticket online in advance on this website.

​

Public Transportation in Malmö

​

For a city with just over 300,000 residents, Malmö feels surprisingly spread out. The historic centre is easy enough to explore on foot, but if you want to head to the beach, the Turning Torso or the up-and-coming area around Möllevångstorget, you’ll need to use public transport at least a couple of times. Alternatively you could rent a bike eithr at Fridhemscykel at Östra Rönneholmsvägen, or at Strömma just opposite the Central Station’s main entrance.

 

There are two kinds of public bus within Malmö. Green buses are for journeys within the city, while yellow buses take care of regional journeys to places like Helsingborg and Ystad. There are eight main city-centre bus lines – they’re colour-coded and provide a fast and reliable alternative to walking. You can check the details at the Skånetrafiken website, also available in English (click ‘translate’ in the top right-hand corner). You can download the Skånetrafiken app (available here), which you can link with your credit or debit card and use to buy single tickets when you need them.
