The BAPC 2013 will take place in Utrecht, Netherlands. The competition will be held at the University of Utrecht on the Uithof (link takes you to Google Maps). We will welcome you at 09:15 in the morning at the Minnaert building.
We expect you to have some kind of navigation system, travel to Leuvenlaan 4, Utrecht. Parking is possible nearby the Minnaert building (as is to be seen in the picture). Parking costs 1 euro for the entire day.
You need a OV Chipkaart to travel in the Netherlands, day cards can be bought at Utrecht Centraal. The route after Utrecht Centraal is quite easy, take bus 11 to the stop "Botanische Tuinen". This should take about 20 minutes. The Minnaert Building should be visible from the busstop.
The rules for the contest can be downloaded here (41KB, pdf).
