The symposium will be held in the SuperC of theRWTH Aachen University in Aachen, Germany.
RWTH Aachen University is a place where the futureof our industrialized world is thought out. The
University is proving to be a hotspot with increasing
international recognition where innovative answers
to global challenges are developed.
The Emperor’s City is a popular travel destination.
This is not just because of its favorable geographicalposition but also due to its large variety of art andculture, elegant shops and pubs.
Aachen is located in an area, where the three
countries of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands
meet. You can easily get to the Eifel hills in a shorttime. You will soon see how much variety the city has
to offer.
