WELCOME in L'AQUILA
WELCOME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF L’AQUILA FOR THE 26TH ESO SUMMER SCHOOL
The ESO Stroke Summer School is a flagship event for ESO and a prestigious educational meeting for stroke trainees throughout Europe.
For the ESO, it has been very rewarding to see that many of the previous Stroke Summer School participants have become leading stroke physicians and researchers.
The 26th ESO Stroke Summer School will take place in L’Aquila, Italy from 4-8 September 2023.
During one week, stroke specialists from Europe provide their expert knowledge to young physicians with a major interest in cerebrovascular diseases.
L’Aquila will welcome you with the historical architecture, technological facilities, and a beautiful landscape.
Be ready for five days you will keep life-long in your memory.
We look forward to seeing you in L’Aquila!!!

VENUE
How to reach
L’Aquila can be reached by flight, rail, or road. Detailed travel information about how to reach L’Aquila and the venue can be found below.
By airplane + bus
The closest airports are located in Rome (Fiumicino Airport – Ciampino Airport) and in Pescara (Aeroporto d’Abruzzo). An express coach service directly connects both Fiumicino and Ciampino Airports to L’Aquila, operated by Gaspari bus company. The trip takes about 2h from Fiumicino and 1h45m from Ciampino. You can find timetable and fares info on www.gasparionline.it/en. Tickets may be bought online or directly on the bus.
When in L’Aquila, Gaspari buses stop at Hotel Amiternum, about 3 km far from the venue. From there you can take any bus going towards the city center. Also taxi cabs are normally available at Hotel Amiternum. You can also call radio-taxi company (+39 0862 25165, web: www.radiotaxilaquila.it). It would cost around 6-10 € depending on traffic or day/night fare.
From Rome Fiumicino airport you can also use the train to the station Roma Tirburtina (about 35 minutes) and take a bus to L’Aquila (about 1h30min): see train+bus.
By train + bus
While L’Aquila rail station is not well connected, frequent bus connections are available from the train station Rome Tiburtina in Rome. This station is served with frequent high-speed service by both main Italian rail companies (Trenitalia and Italo). If your train only stops in another station, e.g. Roma Termini, take the metro (line B) to reach Roma Tiburtina.
Buses from Rome Tiburtina are offered (among others) by TUA, Flixbus and Gaspari (about 1h30m). The bus parking lot is in front of the station’s main entrance. Buses offered by TUA are the most convenient since they arrive at Collemagio Terminal Bus, while Gaspari and Flibux buses arrive at Hotel Amiternum.
For more information about how to reach the venue from the bus stops in L’Aquila see airplane instructions above.
By car
Among other solutions, drivers can take the A24 highway and take the exit “L’Aquila Ovest” or “L’Aquila Est”. Then, follow the road signs to the city center.
By train
This is may be the less convenient solution if you are in a hurry, but the small trains that climb the mountains up to L’Aquila from Terni or Sulmona will bring you through really wonderful landscapes. Visit the Trenitalia site for timetables. From the L’Aquila train station take a bus or a taxi to the city center.
