Venue

European Institute for Neuromorphic Computing (EINC),
Im Neuenheimer Feld 225a,
D-69120 Heidelberg,
Germany

show a map of the venue (A few hotels are marked in the map with direct links to their own or their booking.com page. Heidelberg has a lot more hotels - listed e.g. on booking.com or on hrs.de)

Airports

  • Nearest airport: Frankfurt international airport (FRA)
    • Train Station in the airport itself: Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbahnhof (use bahn.de for time table information)
    • About an hour by car. Info: we often used the TLS shuttle service in the past. A shuttle for up to 7 people costs around 160 Euro single trip. This shuttle needs to be booked in advance.
  • also relatively close: Stuttgart airport (STR). Train station in the airport: "Stuttgart Flughafen/Messe". (use bahn.de for time table information)

Train station

Heidelberg Main Station (Heidelberg Hauptbahnhof, use bahn.de for time table information)

From Heidelberg Main station to the institute:

  • 25 min walking distance
  • or 5 min by tram (Tram number 24, direction: Handschuhsheim Burgstraße. The tram departs from "Steig E" outside the station building. See the plan of Heidelberg Main station.
    Leave the tram at "Bunsengymnasium", then walk 3 min to the institute)

Time zone

The times in the agenda are in Central European Time CET (e.g. Europe, Berlin or Paris). Some other time zones: America, Australia, Europe, Japan, China, India, ... or only CET .)
