Venue

The meeting will take place at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technolgy's Campus North. The campus is located in Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, which is around 15 km from Karlsruhe's city center. It is accessible from Karlsruhe and nearby towns via train, tram, bus, or car.

To note, the campus has restricted access. Upon arrival to the campus, all participants will be required to obtain a visitor's pass for the duration of the workshop. Passes may be retrieved from the building just to the right of the South Gate. On the campus, we have a cafeteria. It is possible for visitors to request a guest pass (when obtaining their visitor's pass) which would allow them to use the cafeteria's services. Otherwise, there are some bakeries and grocery stores within 25 minutes (walking). Restaurants are likely too far away for those without a car.

By car

From Karlsruhe, you will need to enter KIT Campus North at the South Gate. Prior to entering the gate, you will need to obtain your visitor's pass. For this, you may park your car either on the side of the street or the parking lot just to the right of the gate. Visiting cars are able to enter the campus. To note, parking is limited, so please plan accordingly.

With local transport

From the city of Karlsruhe (and neighboring towns), it is possible to use the local tram system (KVV). For getting to the campus, you can input your starting address or KVV stop and set your destination as Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, KIT-Campus Nord Südtor. After you have acquired your visitor's pass (which is obtained at the south gate—Südtor), you can alternately set your destination as Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, KIT-Campus Nord Bahnhof for your remaining journeys to KIT Campus North. 

In addition to using the KVV listed trams/buses, it is also possible to use the shuttle bus provided by KIT (timetable). The bus leaves from Engesserstraße 20 (gps location) on Campus South (the main campus). It travels first to Campus East (Ost) and then to Campus North (and finally reverses). As the shuttle is also used by students and other visiting guests of the university, it is recommended that you plan accordingly.

You can purchase a daily KVV ticket for use of the local transportation each day. Group tickets for up to 5 people are available. With the ticket you can freely uses buses, trams, etc. in Karslruhe, as well as the shuttle bus from Campus South to Campus North.
