BRAUNSCHWEIG

Since the city was founded almost 1,000 years ago, the Guelphs and the Hanseatic League have shaped Braunschweig. Today, the Lion City with around 250,000 inhabitants is an attractive shopping and lively cultural city and the center of Europe's most research-intensive region. The Middle Ages can be experienced here in the winding alleyways of the Magni quarter with its small half-timbered houses or on the Burgplatz square with its historic buildings, as well as the urban lifestyle in the vibrant shopping city. Everything that makes a big city is just a short walk away - as are the wonderful parks and natural landscapes that provide peace and quiet along the River Oker on the edge of the city center.

TU Braunschweig will welcome attendees at the Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources, located in the university's principal campus northeast of the city center. The campus features six faculties, ranging from humanistic to scientific, and hosts over 15,000 students. Established in 1745, the university has since been recognized as one of the 1,000 best universities worldwide, with renowned departments of excellence in various fields, including engineering. Undergraduates and postgraduates opportunities attract students and researchers from all over the globe, thanks also to the numerous agreement with foreign Universities.
