Travel Information

Arrival by plane:

Munich International Airport (MUC) is located about 30 km north of Munich. From there you can get to the conference site located in the University building in Munich:

by Taxi: Cabs are located just outside the terminals (ground level); costs are about 100 DM; duration about 45 minutes depending on the traffic situation.
by Public transportation: Munich airport has two S-Bahn lines (city trains), both go to Munich city center - line no. S8 (via Munich east) and no. S1 (via Munich west). The terminal is situated in the underground level, central area, marked "Z". Follow the symbols showing a {\bf white S in a green circle}. Trains leave every 20 minutes at all times of air traffic. You exit at station "Marienplatz" and change there to the underground line (follow the symbols with a white U in a blue square). Take train no. "U6" directed either to "Garching-Hochbrück or Fröttmaning" or "U3" directed to "Olympiazentrum" and exit after two stops at station "Universität". TICKETS can be purchased in the airport just outside the S-Bahn station. Single ride is about 16 DM; buying a strip-ticket (Streifenkarte) with 10 stripes (DM 17.50) saves you about 10% of the price. You need to cancel 8 stripes for the whole trip (see instructions in English at the ticket machines). The left-over of two stripes can later be used for travelling within the center of Munich. Please make sure that you have put your ticket into one of the litte, waist-high blue-boxes called "Entwerter" to get it punched before you step onto the platform or into the train. Otherwise your ticket is not valid! (Public transport: "MVV")

Arrival by train:

If you come to Munich by train you will arrive at the main railway station "Hauptbahnhof (Hbf)", right in the centre of Munich. From there you can take any S-Bahn to "Marienplatz" and change there to underground line no. 6 (direction "Garching-Hochbrück" or "Fröttmaning") or "U3" directed to "Olympiazentrum" and exit after two stops at station "Universität" (see also above under section "arrival by plane/public transportation").
Tickets can be purchased at kiosks, from bus and street car drivers or from big blue ticket vending machines marked with "MVV". A "single ticket" will cost you DM 4.00. Buying a strip-ticket (Streifenkarte) with 10 stripes (DM 17.50) would enable you to use the left-over stripes for further rides later. You need to cancel 2 stripes for this trip (instructions in English at the ticket machines).

Arrival by car:

If you travel by car and come from the north you should use the motorway Munich-Nürnberg (BAB 9) and drive until you reach the end of the motorway. Then turn to the right, direction "Olympiastadion and Autobahn Lindau-Garmisch". After approximately 500 meters you will come to a traffic light. Turn to the left into "LEOPOLDSTRASSE" and then drive straight ahead (approximately 2 km). After passing by the "Siegestor", which is centered in midth of the street, you can see the university buildings on both sides of the street. The conference building is located on the right side. Note: There is no parking lot reservation for conference participants. Parking space may be rare and rather expensive.
Needless to ask you to use a city map for more detailed travel information, also if you come from other directions. A city map of Munich can be found on the web pages of "Landeshauptstadt München".
