<\/span>Once you are in Santiago central area, there are several ways to arrive at the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (FCFM), located in the Beaucheff Campus of Universidad de Chile, where the conference will take place. The Santiago public transportation network includes metro and buses. To use public buses and metro, you must purchase a Bip! card. You can buy this card in the baggage claim area of the international terminal or in any metro station.
