The Edge Hotel
Tromsø
Norway
The NBS Contact Meeting will take place down town Tromsø at the new “The Edge Hotel”. We will provide a high quality scientific program with plenary speakers in a wide range of topics, mini sessions, the presence of many exhibitors and poster sessions. The banquette on Saturday will have a live band, and all of this will happen during the Arctic winter and under the beautiful Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights.
Tromsø is situated in beautiful surroundings at almost 70 degrees north, and north of the Arctic Circle. This meeting starts on “soldagen”; a day of celebration of the return of the sun after a two months dark season.
Tromsø is famed for many its many nick names; «the gateway to the Arctic”, «Nordens Paris» and «capital» of Northern Norway. Being the largest city in Northern Norway, Tromsø offers a variety of activities throughout the year, both in the city centre and in the area around. The city centre is located on an island surrounded by mountains, hills, forest and a lot of water. These provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities in all seasons. During the dark winter months, whale watching, skiing and dogsledding are just a few of the possible things you can do to enjoy your stay. And not to mention; Tromsø is famous for being a great place to catch a glimpse of the spectacular Northern Lights. If you instead want to spend your time indoors, the city has museums, theatres, cinemas, shopping centres, restaurants and pubs.
