If you come by car and want to drive onto the campus, please use the eastern entrance (the main entrance; see map) and ask for a permit at the gate.

However, no parking lots will be available on the campus for the participants of our conference. You can park outside of the campus (would mean about 5-10 minutes of walking time) or leave their car in the hotel and come by tram. In case somebody absolutely must park on the campus, this person should contact Dr. Stefan Linden.
