Venue
The conference takes place in seminar room of Philosophenweg 19, Heidelberg. See more details on the venue and the two hotels on this map. As you can see, one of the suggested hotels is at walking distance (10-15 min) from the venue. The closest tramway and bus stop is "Brückenstraße (Neuenheim)". Tramway line 5 stops there if you come from the main railway station (Heidelberg Hbf). On the page vrn.de you can consult the schedules and more precise information.
Arrival to Heidelberg
Heidelberg is very well connected with other big European cities in the high-speed network (TGV, ICE, etc.), which makes a train-travel an option even if you come from outside Germany, e.g. it is in occasions, as fast as 3:30 hrs travel from Paris to Heidelberg. If you wish (or have) to arrive by plane, the nearest big airports are Frankfurt (1 hr mainly in high-speed train plus a short travel with regional train) and Stuttgart (2 hrs).
If you land in Frankfurt, beware that the railway-station is divided in regional trains [Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Regionalbf] and fast trains [Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Fernbf] located at different places (a 200 meters walk). Since Heidelberg is relatively close, you might want to compare to know if the fast connection is really faster or worth the price. This example link that shows regional train options (from Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Regionalbf to Heidelberg Hbf, the main station).
Hotels
While registering, you check a box for the hotel of your preference (beware we have a fixed number of rooms is reserved in each hotel, but we will try to assign the hotel you wish). You will receive an email from the secretariat to confirm your choice. If you plan to cover your stay, the price is ~100 €/night (including breakfast) in the two hotels we have an agreement with. If you are not a speaker but you will attend the conference, we recommend you this option (fill this in the registration form); in any case, you will be contacted by the secretariat at a later point. Ticking a box for any of the two hotels is enough for us to take care of organising your stay in Heidelberg (do not book yourself the hotel). Do not give your credit card details, nor you account details, the hotels never will ask for these. The only address that will contact you giving or asking information about hotels is sekretariat19[at]thphys.uni-heidelberg.de, as they will take care of your booking.
