How to find the conference Location (UoV)

The conference will take place at the UNI-Campus at the Aula am Campus 1.11. The meaning of the numbers is as follows: the first number refers to the “Hof” (courtyard), and the second number to the “Stiege” (entrance); therefore, the conference is taking place in the courtyard 1 entrance 17. If you arrive with the tram line 43 or 44 and you use the entrance on the corner “Alserstraße/Spitalgasse”, then you have to traverse the courtyard and find the entrance to the conference diagonally opposite. But there are several entrances to the UNI campus and we kindly ask you to use the UNI-Campus map to find the location.
