Conference venue
The University of Konstanz is located on the Lake Constance (German: Bodensee) at the Southern border of Germany adjacent to Switzerland. The univeristy campus is located outside of the city center.
The conference will be hosted at the Zukunftskolleg (Building Y, Room 311) at the University of Konstanz. The inside of the university very much resembles a labyrinth, so we will signpost the way to the conference venue.
