Conference 2024
Never heard of Witten before?
The city of Witten is located in the heart of the so-called "Ruhrpott", a former industrial area and the biggest metropolitan region in Germany. Due to the close neighbourhood to the city of Dortmund and the good connection to Düsseldorf and Cologne, the life in Witten offers its 100.000 inhabitants (and 2.500 students) a wide range of activities as well as, surprisingly, a lot of nature and the necessary quiteness to concentrate on one`s studies.
We are looking forward to welcome you in Witten! :)
