Tips on travel and food during the EET week

There are only a very limited number of free, temporary parking spaces at ERBA (except for the paid parking garage). It is recommended to come to the university by bike, on foot or by bus. Throughout the EET week, the ERBA cafeteria will be open, where you can buy sandwiches, snacks and more. During the lecture period, the ERBA cafeteria has a hot meal (often, but not always vegetarian) every day from Monday to Thursday. There is also a bakery and sushi, among other things, near the university.
