Meeting Room: The meeting room at LRZ is located in its auditorium wing, second floor, H.2.002. This room will be available at all times during the meeting. The LRZ building is open between 7:30 and 18:00, except on Friday, when it closes at 17:00. Transportation: Public transportation from Munich airport to Garching: Buy a "Streifenkarte" (EUR 11.50) with 10 vouchers, and stamp off 8 of them at the blue boxes standing at the entry to the S-Bahn (you'll be able to use the remaining two vouchers for trips between campus and hotel). Select the S8 city line, and drive to the city center (stop "Marienplatz"). Then, change over to the U6 underground going northward ("Garching Forschungszentrum" - beware: some U6 trains stop earlier). For your hotel, get off either at the stop "Garching-Hochbrueck" or at "Garching". For groups of 2 - 5 the cheapest ticket would be a "Partner Tageskarte Aussenraum" for EUR 9.40. However this cannot be used to go through the city centre, so it is necessary to get off the S8 at the stop "Ismaning" and change over to the bus line 230A to Garching. For whole-day excursions to the city a "Partner Tageskarte Gesamtnetz" (EUR 18.80) can be used. Using a taxi between Munich airport and Garching: prices vary, but are usually in the range 35 - 40 EUR. Public transportation between hotel and LRZ building: Going to the campus area from the hotel (1 or 2 stops) via U6 requires a single voucher (EUR 1,15) of a Streifenkarte. Public transportation between hotel and LRZ building: Going to the centre of Munich from either the campus area or the hotel requires 4 vouchers of a Streifenkarte. Further amenities: 1. Phone and internet services at Hotel: availability of internet services depends on the hotel selected, and may incur additional cost. 2. Breakfast at hotel: normally included, but consult hotel URL for details. 3. Shopping opportunities etc.: The centre of Garching hosts a number of shops, but participants may prefer to go to the centre of Munich. 4. Provisioning at meeting site: Coffee, cold drinks and biscuits will be provided throughout the week.
