How to get to the IEEC

The headquarters of the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC) is located in the RDIT building of the Mediterranean Technology Park (PMT), within the Baix Llobregat Campus of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). The Campus is located in the town of Castelldefels, near Barcelona.

It is very well connected by public transportation, close to the Castelldefels Rodalies station and with several bus stops in the surrounding area. If you are travelling by car, there is a free parking zone outside the PMT, very close to the entrance of the RDIT building.

The R2 Rodalies de Catalunya line allows you to travel from Barcelona to Castelldefels by train. Once at Castelldefels Rodalies station, you can walk 15 minutes to the RDIT building.
