The rules for Traveling to Sweden depend on where you are coming from. We have included the standard procedure for you to get the Schengen visa.

The venue of the conference part of the Stockholm Challenge final event is Kista, just north of the city center. Going to or coming from Kista from/to the heart of Stockholm is easy. Kista is one of the subway (Tunnelbana) stops. Therefore it is pretty easy to get there.

Challenge Week will be will be held in the Forum building in which the welcome reception, the workshops and the open conference takes place on May 19-22.

It only takes 17 minutes from the city center, by the subway, to Kista.

The Gala dinner and Award Ceremony on May 22 is held in the Blue Hall of theCity Council Building in the heart of Stockholm Cuity. The city Council buildings are about 5 minute's walk from the Central Station.
