Travel

There are a number of international airports in the region, including Frankfurt (FRA) and Düsseldorf (DUS).

There's also the local airport Münster/Osnabrück (FMO) which can be the best choice when arriving with an internal flight in Frankfurt or Munich (MUC).

(People arriving from the UK note that there's a nice direct flight from London "Southend")

Details of train service to Münster can be found at bahn.de.

Approximate travel times to Münster by train from:

  • FRA: 3 Hours
  • DUS: 1.5 Hours

(Both connections usually require changing trains at least once)

The most convenient DB station to arrive at is 'Münster (Westf) Hbf' (where 'Westf' stands for 'Westfalen'; there are a few more places called 'Münster' in Germany).

Taxis will be available at the station.

Accommodation

We strongly suggest you stay at the Factory Hotel; special rates will be e-mailed to you.

Note that coffee and croissants will be served at the conference, so depending on your needs, you might not need to pay extra for breakfast.

Meals

Lunch is included with registration, as will be morning and afternoon snacks.

We will be arranging group dinners for some nights; details TBD.

Getting around in Münster

The meeting hotel is around 1.5 miles from downtown with relatively frequent (12 min during the day) bus connections (lines 6 and 22).

During the meeting and depending on weather conditions, it may be a good idea to rent a bicycle (either at the hotel or at the train station (https://www.radstation.de))
