HLRS concept for on-site courses

Besides the content of the training itself, an important aspect of this event is the scientific exchange among the participants. We try to facilitate such communication by

a social event on the evening of the first course day,
possibily further events such as a visit to the HLRS CAVE and server room,
offering common coffee and lunch breaks and
working together in groups of two during the exercises.

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 in Allmandring 35, 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.
