Our course fees include coffee breaks (in classroom courses only).

On-site course & COVID rules

Although this event is a training course, another important aspect is the scientific exchange between participants.

The concept to enable this communication among our participants consists of

a social event on the first course day,
common coffee and lunch breaks, and
working together in groups of two during the exercises.

By registering you agree to adhere to the COVID-19 regulations of the University of Stuttgart that are in effect at the time of the course. For more information, see the COVID-19 informations and the Hygiene Concept of the University of Stuttgart.

Lunch Breaks

We plan to have lunch in the unversity's canteen (Mensa Stuttgart-Vaihingen, have a look at their menu online). Two other near possibilities for lunch are on all days:

A food truck from 11:00-14:00, see "Allmandring 35" at https://www.uni-stuttgart.de/universitaet/aktuelles/meldungen/Food-Trucks-am-Campus-Vaihingen/, approximately 300 m from HLRS,
Bakery Sehne, near bus stop "Im Lauchhau", approximately 400 m from HLRS.

We will update this information if opening times etc. change and inform you more precisely before the course starts.
