Information for Speakers
Updated September 2023
Travel booking
The Department will take care of booking and paying accommodation in a hotel for a night (or two, if the logistics impose it) in Padua, and will reimburse other travel expenses, except for taxi and car rides as they need to be pre-authorized and need to be the only feasible means of transportation in a sspecific time or place. We kindly ask speakers to book their own (economy class) flights or train tickets, and to do so in advance in order to contain travel costs.
Reaching Padua & the Department
Padua is conveniently served by two main airports, Venice Marco Polo (VCE) and Venice Treviso (TSF). Bus lines connect both airports to Padua’s coach station, located next to the city’s train station. VCE bus info and timetables are available here, while info and timetables of TSF buses are available here. In both cases, tickets can be purchased in the arrival hall. If necessary (e.g. for late arrivals), the Department can organize a transfer from the airports to the hotel or Department.
The Department is located in Via del Santo 33, in the very centre of town. It can be reached by foot from the train station (a 20 minutes walk), or you can take the tramline southbound (headed for “Capolinea sud”) and alighting at "Tito Livio" (a 3-minutes walk from the Department). The tram stop is 70m on your right as you exit the station. Tickets can be purchased at the newspaper kiosk or contactless, by card, directly on the tram.
Reimbursement
After the seminar, speakers should fill out and sign a reimboursement form (ITALIAN FISCAL RESIDENCE - ANY OTHER FISCAL RESIDENCE) and send it back with any hard copy receipts and/or boarding passes via traditional post to the following address:

Electronic tickets and boarding passes can be e-mailed to eventi.economia@unipd.it. If speakers only have electronic tickets and boarding cards, then they can send all documents (including the signed reimbursement form) via email.
Whether you send your documents in paper or online format, please include a copy of your passport or national ID.
