How to get there
To reach the venue (Audimax R14) by public transport from Essen main station (Hauptbahnhof), it is best to take the tram 106 (direction Germaniaplatz) or tram 105 (direction Frintrop Unterstr.) and get off at "Rheinischer Platz". The building is very close to the tram station "Rheinischer Platz". You might alternatively take the metro U11 (direction: Gelsenkirchen Buerer Str.) or metro U17 (direction: Essen Karlsplatz) and get off at "Universität Essen". In this case you have to cross the campus (approximately: 7 minutes walk).
