ETMC Meeting Frankfurt am Main (Oct 24, 2012 (Wed), 14:00 - Oct 26, 2012 (Fri), 12:00)

Location of the meeting

The meeting will take place at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Campus Riedberg, which is located in the northern outskirts of Frankfurt am Main.

We meet in the "Otto Stern Zentrum", Ruth-Moufang-Str. 2, 60437 Frankfurt am Main (https://maps.google.de/maps/); the Google map does not show any buildings, because it is not up to date): The seminar rooms are designed for around 25 people. There is an LCD projector and an electronic board, however, no blackboard. In case you need an overhead projector, please let us know.

The "Otto Stern Zentrum" can be reached easily by public transportation. Take subway (U-Bahn) U8 in direction "Riedberg" and leave the train at the second last station "Uni Campus Riedberg". From there you can walk to the "Otto Stern Zentrum" (around 100 meters). Information regarding public transportation in Frankfurt am Main can be found at http://www.rmv.de/en/.

How to reach Frankfurt am Main

  • Plane:
    • We have a big international airport (http://www.frankfurt-airport.de/content/frankfurt_airport/de.html, from which it is easy to reach Campus Riedberg via public transportation (http://www.rmv.de/en/); you will need around 1 hour.
    • There is another airport, Frankfurt Hahn (http://www.hahn-airport.de/), which is frequently offered, when you are looking for a flight to Frankfurt am Main. This airport is, however, quite far away from Frankfurt am Main. You need to take a bus, which takes around 90 minutes to Frankfurt am Main plus additional around 45 minutes to reach Campus Riedberg via public transportation. If possible we recommend to book a flight to our international airport, not to Frankfurt Hahn.
  • Train:
    • You will most likely arrive at our main station "Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof". From there it is easy to reach Campus Riedberg via public transportation (http://www.rmv.de/en/); you will need around 45 minutes.
  • Car:
    • Please use Google Maps (https://maps.google.de/maps/); to find parking in the vicinity of the university Campus is possible, but not trivial.

Housing

Three possibilities for your stay in Frankfurt are the following:
  • Hotel Excelsior:
    • http://www.hotelexcelsior-frankfurt.de/.
    • Around 60 Euro per night including breakfast.
    • A nice hotel located directly across the main station; you will need around 30 minutes to reach Campus Riedberg via public transportation (S1, S2, S3, ... main station to "Hauptwache", then U8 "Hauptwache" to "Uni Campus Riedberg").
  • Hotel Brighella:
    • http://www.ristorante-brighella.de/.
    • Around 70 Euro per night.
    • A nice, but rather small hotel located halfway between the city center and Campus Riedberg; you will need around 15 minutes to reach Campus Riedberg via public transportation (U8 "Lindenbaum" to " Uni Campus Riedberg").
  • Relaxa Hotel:
Of course, there are many other hotels, which are nice, inexpensive, etc. It is certainly worthwhile to also check e.g. http://www.booking.com/city/de/frankfurt-am-main.de.html.

Food

At Campus Riedberg there are a couple of canteens and coffee shops, where you can have breakfast, a coffee, a sandwich, a hot meal for lunch etc.

One of the coffee shops is only 20 meters away from our seminar room at "Otto Stern Zentrum".

In the evening at around 19:30 we plan to have joint dinner with those of you, who are interested:
  • Wednesday evening: we go to the restaurant "Lahmer Esel" (lame donkey; http://www.lahmer-esel.de/), where they mainly serve traditional local German food.
  • Thursday evening: we go to the Asian restaurant "Jinmel's Kitchen" (http://www.jinmel.com/).
Both restaurants are within walking distance of Campus Riedberg. From both restaurants there is a direct subway connection to the city center, which might be of interest to those of you, you plan to explore the night life of Frankfurt am Main after dinner.

When registering, please let us know, whether you intend to join the dinner on Wednesday and/or Thursday (we would like to reserve an appropriate table).
