Registration information
Welcome from the AESCdL
Our Scientific-Family Congress represents an annual event that is always very important for Cornelia Spain. This year is our 18th meeting, but it takes on a more important dimension due to the number of affected individuals, families, professionals and students, who converge in our country, as we host for the first time, the 12th CDLS International Conference.
At the same time, this occasion gives us the valuable opportunity to increase the visibility of the Spanish Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Association (AESCdL), given that we are aware of the essential dissemination that we need for “unknown” Rare Diseases.
It is a source of great satisfaction to do it in the city of Zaragoza, a place that houses the central operations of our Reference Unit for the syndrome, both from the human perspective and in terms of infrastructure.
The 2023 International Meeting adopts a transformative role for all participants by becoming a space for mutual support. This evolution is a cause for rejoicing for us, as it reflects the evolution and purpose of our work.
We welcome you all to this great meeting, we are delighted to welcome you “at home”
Getting there , travel advice
Arrive by Plane to Spain
When you arrive with the airplane in one of the airports of Barcelona or Madrid you could consider:
The ideal is: Flight to Madrid or Barcelona, whichever suits you better and from there: directly by train, from either city. There is also a domestic flight to Zaragoza but note that connections to international arrivals might make the train a better solution!
Advantages of the train in both cases (the distance between Zgz - Bcn or Zgz - Mad, is the same): you don't have to book far in advance like for a plane connection, and you arrive in 1 hour 15 minutes, but you have to move from the airport to the train station.
Barcelona:
It's easy to travel from Barcelona airport to Sants-ttrainstation. Just take the RENFE (R) train from Barcelona airport and get off at Estació de Sants (also known as Barcelona Sants station). The R2 Nord line departs from Barcelona-El Prat Airport to Barcelona Sants every half hour. The journey takes approximately 25 minutes and tickets cost 4.10 €.
The quickest way is by taxi; the journey is charged by meter and costs about €40.
Hop onboard the highspeed AVE train to Zaragoza
Madrid:
The metro is the cheapest and most efficient form of public transport in Madrid. From the airport, metro line 8 takes you to Nuevos Ministerios station. There you can change to line 10, which takes you directly to Atocha station. This takes 25 minutes.
It has a frequency of 15-20 minutes during the day and 35 minutes at night. The price of the ticket is 5 euros.
The best way to get from Madrid Airport (MAD) to Estación de Atocha Renfe Madrid is by train which takes 38 min and costs €2 - €3. Alternatively, you can take line 203 bus which costs €1 - €5 and takes 1h 5m.
The price of a taxi or private transfer from Barajas Airport to Puerta de Atocha Station is between 40 euros VAT included for the standard option, 65 euros VAT included for the Minivan taxi option for 7 people and 65 euros VAT included for the Minivan taxi option for 7 people.
