Highlights

  • If you want to learn more about the mining history of germany and the Ruhr-area, you can visit the Deutsches Bergbau Museum
  • You can go watch Starlight express, a one of a kind roller skates musical about trains falling in love. Yes, you read that right.
  • Near the university campus you can visit the Botanical Garden.

Funding

We are able to provide funding for travel and accommodation for all the participants who asked for it. See above for the restrictions on the accomocation funding. Please keep in mind that since this workshop is meant to be a local event we do not fund plane travel. For people coming from far away we offer to fund an extra night to break the train trip into two days and make it more comfortable.
