By car

It is easiest if you bring your own navigation, but we also have old school directions for you.
When you exit one of the highways around Einhoven (A2, A50, A58, A67 or A270) you can follow the signs pointing towards the city centre (centrum). Before reaching the centre the University Campus should also be displayed on the signs. Parking is possible but it costs €7.50 to park a car for a day.

By public transport

The campus of the University of Technology Eindhoven is at walking distance from the Eindhoven Central train station. The time needed to travel from the train station to the MetaForum is about 10 minutes, for directions you can turn to this Google Maps.
