Preliminary programme: PDF
The talks will take place at the Wechloy campus in lecture theatre W32 0-005 (Experimentierhörsaal).
On Thursday evening at 18:30, there will be a dinner at the restaurant‘Zum Drögen Hasen’(600 metres from the campus).
Practical information
There is a direct bus service from/to the city centre (incl. the central station): the campus Wechloy is the end station of the bus 306 (the bus passes every 15 minutes, the ride to the city centre takes 10-15 minutes). Single ticket costs 2,70€ (can be bought from the bus driver or at the ticket vending machines "VWG" around the central train station and the big bus stops like Lappan, Schlossplatz, Staustrasse): check the official page of the local bus company VWG for more information.
Most likely you will stat not very far from the bus stop "Lappan" (e.g. Hotels B&B and Sprenz) or "Julius-Mosen-Platz"(Hotel Altera): go there and take:
- (most standard option) the bus 306 to "University Campus Wechloy" (<15 minutes), get off at the last stop, then walk to the conference building W32 (ca. 300m): you need to go through the main building,
- or the bus 310 or 350 till the stop "Pophankeweg" (<15 minutes), then walk to the conference building W32 (ca. 600 m).
Check the bus timetables https://www.vwg.de//Fahrplan-Linienplaene-und-Bussteige.html at and the bus map at https://www.vwg.de//Fahrplan-Netzplaene-Tag-und-Nacht.html
You may also use the compact campus map prepared by the organisers (the background is taken from Google Maps): MAP (the map also includes available lunch options). For the lunch, grade that the university canteen only accepts cash and there is no possibility of cash withdrawal on or near the campus, so please have some cash with you.
