VENUE & HOTEL
The workshop takes place at the Beutenberg Campus Jena.
The lecture program will be held at Abbe Center of Photonics,the academic center of scientific activities in the fields of optics and photonics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena .
The extended exhibition area is located just a few meters away in the Fraunhofer IOF, where everyone meets for coffee and lunch breaks.
How to reach the Beutenberg Campus:
- By public transport: From the city center, choose either of the bus lines 10, 11, 12 to reach the Beutenberg campus.
- By car: It is not easy to approach the Beutenberg campus by car due to the lack of public parking lots at the campus. However, if you wish to arrive by car, use »Albert-Einstein-Str. 6« as major input for your GPS system.
