While MMM 2024 will be broadcast online for registered participants, the conference will primarily be an onsite event. In particular, presenting authors of all oral presentations are expected to attend the conference on location. Posters will be presented in hybrid onsite/online sessions, so virtual poster presentations will be possible.
The main venue will be at Matrix ONE. Matrix ONE is an innovation center in the heart of science for new and established companies; from startups and scale-ups to spin-ins and major organizations. It is a hyper-modern and exceptionally sustainable innovation building, fully tailored to facilitate meetings and interaction and situated in the heart of the campus. Among other things, Matrix ONE will house SustainaLab; an inspirational meeting place developed by the University of Amsterdam for researchers, businesses and governments to work together on the future of our planet and the restoration of natural cycles. The unique combination of state-of-the-art offices and laboratories, an expansive and open social area and the presence of SustainaLab will make Matrix ONE the perfect environment for tech companies with a scientific and sustainable profile.
Other activities will be at the LAB42 building. LAB42 is an international hub for knowledge and talent development in digital innovation and AI. It brings together academics, entrepreneurs, businesses and researchers to work on addressing the challenges of the future. LAB42 offers a home to students, researchers from the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) and the University of Amsterdams Informatics Institute, and companies that can rent offices or flex desks in the building. By combining academia, business and cutting-edge research under one roof, LAB42 creates a vibrant community whose members exchange ideas and knowledge to create tech innovations and put them into practice.

Science Park in Amsterdam is a vibrant hub of science, technology and innovation, and the University of Amsterdam (UvA) plays an essential role in this. Located on the eastern edge of Amsterdam, Science Park offers an inspiring environment where scientists, students and companies come together to work on cutting-edge research and groundbreaking developments. The UvA, as one of the leading educational and research institutions within the park, contributes to this dynamic.
The research done at UvA Science Park includes groundbreaking studies in the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum physics, sustainability, health sciences and more. Through state-of-the-art laboratories, facilities and partnerships with other institutions and companies, the UvA offers a fertile ground for intellectual exchange and progress.
UvA students at Science Park benefit from a vibrant academic environment where research-driven education is the norm. They have access to the latest knowledge and technologies, and the opportunity to get involved in world-class research projects, which enriches their academic experience and prepares them for future challenges. In addition, Science Park functions as a breeding ground for innovative start-ups and companies that arise from research at the UvA. This creates valuable synergy between academic research and the commercial world, transforming ideas into tangible applications and products that impact society.

Information about traveling to the venue can be found on Matrix ONE's website. From the Schiphol airport, it is easy to get to Amsterdam or the venue (the Science Park station) by train, as the train station is located on the bottom floor of the airport lobby. If you stay in a hotel in Amsterdam, you can go to the venue in many different ways. Transport in Amsterdam is straight-forward and convenient, whether it is by taxi, train, tram, metro, bus, ferry, bike or on foot. So journeys are short, pleasant, and enlightening.
