The venue of the conference has been changed to the central seminar and conference building Z6 of the University of Würzburg as announced earlier in the conference booklet. The Campus Hubland South is well connected to the city centre by various bus lines (see booklet). There are also parking lots available.
The location of the social events is the Würzburg Residence situated with its beautiful court gardens in the city centre of Würzburg. Most of the accommodations are in a walking distance.
