The School's venue is Kardinal-Doepfner-Haus in Freising in the North of Munich, close to the airport. Freising is a small town of great importance to Bavarian history as cultural and religious center in the middle ages. The School will take place right there on Cathedral Hill.

Scientific talks and poster sessions with the participants' work will be accompanied by an informal get together with the experts in typical Bavarian ambience. If you like, bring your Dirndl and Lederhosen!
