You can plan your arrival to Ilmenau on 30^th May 2024 between 10:00 – 15:00. Ofcourse, if you are a bit late, it works too. The time frame is arranged as such, because we would already start with our first session right after this.

Unfortunately, due to limited capacity and resources, we are unable to accommodate guests who are not registered participants of the conference.

You can find it here.

We will provide an online platform (i.e., discord), where the participants and hosts can contact and find each other before the start of the conference. But in our experience, most participants will find their host upon arrival in Ilmenau, where the Organising Committee will assist every participant in finding a host. So don’t worry if you do not find a host before your travel. We will inform you as soon as the platform is online.

That depends on what you would like to buy. Accommodation, meals and festival events are free of charge for you, but you might want to buy some souvenirs or beer, juice and coffee at the student clubs while hanging out with friends. To give you an idea of the prices: a coffee is about 1 euro, a beer about 2,50 euros and a soft drink about 2 euros. These prices are taken from the student clubs on the campus, where everything is usually much cheaper than in other clubs or in restaurants.

Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to give any financial support for your travel expenses. We are only a student organisation that tries to do its best in organising this conference. Thus, we depend on public funding from the German State and from private sponsors and foundations. It is hard work to get all the money to realise the conference. We hope that you can understand our situation, and that you kindly refrain from asking for such support.

 The final selection of your working group will be made after your arrival in Ilmenau at the check-in, where you will register for the working group you will participate in. We will try to give you your first choice, but due to capacity reasons it is possible that we can only offer you your second or third choice topic.

 Ilmenau is a small town (approx. 26,000 inhabitants), so most of the destinations can be easily reached on foot. Furthermore, many working groups will take place on campus of the TU Ilmenau.
