The workshop takes place on the campus of the FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany. Hagen is located in the center of North Rhine-Westphalia, on the southeastern edge of the Ruhr area. It is well connected to the rail and road network and can be conveniently reached from several major airports.
The campus is located uphill to the northeast of the city center. There are several bus routes connecting it to the city center and the main station. It is also very close to the Autobahn 45 and 46 and many parking lots are available. Of course, walking and cycling the city is also an option, but be aware of the hilly terrain.
