Deutsche Flagge Arrival and Accomodation

Venue

The LSC is being held on the campus and in the lecture rooms of the University of Dresden on Fritz-Förster-Platz, close to the main station.

The centre of events is the university lecture hall centre HSZ (Bergstraße 64, 01069 Dresden). Here you can find:

  • the stalls (admin desk, food stalls, sales and information stalls)
  • the main lecture hall (Audimax), where the plenums and part of the evening programme (stage programme) will take place
  • functional and seminar rooms

Most of the day-programme will take place in the von-Gerber building (Bergstr. 53) and in the Willers building (Zellescher Weg 12-14). Join us in the Old Refectory (Alte Mensa, Mommsenstr. 13) for dancing and a late night chill-out.
All the buildings are within a few minutes walking distance of each other.
