The City of Karlsruhe and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Karlsruhe is located in the South-West of Germany in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg and is well accessible both via train and airplane.
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) will provide the locations for the conference. KIT is the merger between Research Center Karlsruhe and the University of Karlsruhe. KIT unites the missions of a University of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg and a National Research Center of the Helmholtz Association. With 8,500 employees, 19,700 students, 364 professors, and 650 Mil EUR annual budget it is one of the largest education and research institutes in Germany. KIT provides excellent conference facilities and yet accommodation in Karlsruhe has relatively decent pricing. Karlsruhe is well connected and has an outstanding public transport system.
