Local Information

Conference venue

The meeting takes place at Jacobs University located in the north of Bremen. If you arrive by train, you should buy a through ticket to Bremen-Schönebeck, a suburban railway station within five minutes walk from campus. Trains from Bremen Main Station to Bremen-Schönebeck show Bremen-Vegesack or Bremen-Farge as final destination. They run every 30 minutes till late, leaving main station at 04 and 34 minutes past each hour from platform 5 or 6. During peak times, there are additional services at 19 and 49 minutes past each hour.

If you travel by car, set your navigation to Campus Ring 1, 28759 Bremen. A campus map and other local area information can be found here.

Accommodation

We have reserved a contingent of on-campus college accommodation. The rooms are comfortable single bedrooms with a private bathroom (45 EUR/night) or shared bathroom (35 EUR/night); meals in the college cafeteria will be charged extra. 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.
