Accommodation

There are many accommodation options available ranging in price levels & location. Majority of hotels are a short walk from the city center. Recommended transportation to the conference venue is by Bochum Stadtbahn. The U35 Stadtbahn departs the central train station every 5 minutes for Bochum Ruhr-Universität. It is 9 minutes (7 stops) travel time.

Participants are expected to book their accommodation individually by contacting the providers directly, using a reference code for a special price.
