Venue

The WG2/3 meeting will take place at Haus der Astronomie (HdA), next to MPIA, which is located on top of the Königstuhl, about 6 km outside the centre of Heidelberg. HdA is the curved (galaxy-shaped) building immediately to the left as you enter the gates to MPIA.

We recommend that you bring your own device with your contribution which can be plugged into the system in the room.

We also recommend using the provided bus to travel between Peterskirche (in Aldstadt or Old Town) and MPIA. Please see the Schedule for bus times each morning and evening of the conference. Note that on Friday evening there will only be public transport available.
