We have reserved a contingent of on-campus college accommodation.

These rooms can be booked via the conference registration form. In addition, there is a limited number of university guest house appartments of different sizes available should you travel with partner or family. For options and rates on guest house appartments, please contact Anja Müller directly and as early as possible.

Lecture Room

The lectures take place in the Campus Center IRC Seminar Room (4-302).

The campus center is easy to find. It's the building shown on the left banner picture which is located - well - at the center of campus. The seminar room is not easy to find. From the campus center foyer, enter the library (also known as Information Resource Center or short IRC) and take the open stairs or the elevator to the first floor. You are now on the main library floor. There are two side wings attached to it, go to and enter the east wing reading room which is the one further away from the open stair case. The seminar room is now to your left.

Speakers should note that there is a data projector and a small white board, but no major black board setup. Speakers who prefer giving a black board talk should talk to us well beforehand.
