About Jönköping

Jönköping is a mid-sized town in the south of Sweden. It is beautifully placed directly at Vättern, Sweden’s second-largest lake, and tucked in between deep forests and hilly mountains. Home of the late artist John Bauer, famous for his fairytale motifs of forest trolls and fairy princesses, the city is a gateway into the mystics of the depth of Swedish nature.

As one of Sweden’s oldest cities (given city privileges in 1284), the area is filled with a rich history including the death of royalty, repeated battles with the invading Danish and innovative industries including the invention of the safety match; that baptised the city as the “Match Stick City” (tändsticksstaden). Still, in modern times, the local industry is working closely with the university on product development and industry innovations. Today, Jönköping is a fast-growing and modern city with plenty of culture, restaurants and activities for any preference.

Yet, the highlight of the city is the proximity to nature as Jönköping is one of Sweden’s most active outdoor towns with popular activities ranging from water sports to mountain biking to skiing. Each year it hosts a range of sports and culture events such as Jönköping Marathon, Triathlons and vintage car and bike shows. For those staying a bit longer, we recommend a trip to one of the nature reserves such as Dumme Mosse: one of the world’s most well-preserved swamp wilderness, or a trip down John Bauer Leden, a hiking trail that takes you up the Husqvarna hills and through the rich, mossy forests.

The final day of ICCC’24 will be taking place on Midsummer, one of Sweden’s biggest and most unique public holidays. Historically it was deemed the most magical night of the year in which people could get glimpses of the future! Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Sweden’s most celebrated holiday and, if you are lucky enough, experience some of that magic that Nordic nature offers!

 

Hosting organisation

ICCC’24 is locally hosted by the School of Engineering at Jönköping University. I Jönköping University is a polytechnical university with four educational Schools of different scientific foci: School of Engineering, School of Education and Communication, School of Health and Welfare, and Jönköping International Business School.

Tuesday-Friday:

The main conference will take place in the building of the School of Engineering (E). More precisely in the room “Fagerhultsaulan”.

Both buildings are relatively small meaning that by entering through the main entrance you cannot miss the location of the conference.

Note that the welcome reception on Tuesday evening will take place on JTH’s area (Framgången 1 Leveranser:, Lasarettsgatan 2, 553 18 Jönköping) in the newly build Science Park. If you arrive late, the building is located next School of Education and Communication.
