The university offers ample parking space on site. If you want to come to the symposium by car, we recommend that you park your car in the university's underground parking.

To get there:

• Coming from the city center, drive westwards on the Ofener Straße. After you cross below the motorway, the street name changes to Ammerländer Heerstraße
• After you have crossed below the motorway, drive on the Ammerlander Heerstraße for about 750 meters
• At the crossing, turn left into Uhlhornsweg
• The entrance to the underground parking is on the left side of the street, after approximately 150 meters (right after the disabled parking facilities)
• Be aware that there is no sign pointing to the entrance - it was removed a while ago ...

To get from the underground parking to the BIS-Saal:

• Take the stairs to leave the underground parking. There is only one staircase, which is on the left side (with respect to the driveway)
• Climb the stairs up to the top, and leave the staircase through the green door
• Turn slightly left, and go through the revolving door in between the book shop and the cafe. Do not leave the building!
• The BIS-Saal is to your right
