Conference Venue: Graz University of Technology
The conference will take place at the Inffeldgasse Campus of Graz University of Technology in Graz, Austria.
The main conference will take place in Lecture Hall i2 on the ground floor of Inffeldgasse 12. The lunch breaks will be organized at the Mensa in Inffeldgasse 10, pictured below.
Social Event
On Wednesday afternoon, September 17, 2025, we will depart from the conference venue at 13:30 for an excursion to Riegersburg Castle, located east of Graz. The program includes a visit to the bird of prey observatory (sponsored by ISEC, TU Graz), where we will enjoy a live demonstration featuring various birds of prey.
Following the visit, we will head to a traditional Buschenschank, a Styrian wine tavern, to enjoy a relaxed evening with regional specialties (and with scientific lightning talks). The menu will feature locally sourced cold cuts, traditional Styrian fare, and a selection of local beverages.
Bus transfers to and from the conference venue are available for all participants.

It’s a direct connection from Graz main Station, but takes a few minutes longer, since it’s not going through the inner city.
