How to get to the conference

Public Transport

From the stop „Hauptbahnhof“, you can either take bus line 1 (towards „Südfriedhof“) or bus line 4 (towards „Südfriedhof“ or „Itzum“). Bus line 4 also stops at „Schuhstraße“, in case you are travelling from the city centre. Get off the bus at the stop „Silberfundstraße“ (around 10-15 min travel time). Follow the signs towards Bühler Campus: Turn right at the stop light (into Quedlinburger Straße). Follow the road until you see a small intersection and turn left onto Lüneburger Straße. You can find the entrance to the Bühler Campus on the right side of the road.

Via car

From all directions, follow the signs for „Hildesheim-Zentrum” and then „Marienburger Höhe/Universität”. Follow Marienburger Straße to the traffic lights at the junction with Quedlinburger Straße, turn right there, then left into Lüneburger Straße to reach the entrance to the Bühler Campus.

There is limited on-site parking. Further parking is available at the main campus (about a 15-minute walk). There are 2 disabled parking spaces available. All parking spaces are free of charge.

Food and drinks around Bühler Campus

Catering, including coffee and drinks, will be provided during the conference. There are also two supermarkets within walking distance, a kebab shop and a corner shop. On Friday, the campus bistro will also be open. You can pay there in cash or by debit card. A coffee machine and a candy machine are available at all times (you will need change for the candy machine). Please inform us if you have any food or medicine that needs to be kept cool.

 

Accessibility at the conference: Buildings

The campus is wheelchair-accessible and suitable for wheelchair users. The doors are wide enough, and there is an accessible toilet in both buildings. All staircases can be accessed via lifts. We would be happy to provide you with a student assistant for the duration of your visit.

 

Accessibility at the conference: Communication

On Friday, we will be joined by the “Easy to read” team. The conference will be interpreted into German Sign Language, German Easy Language, and spoken German and English. There will also be text interpretation into German. Friday’s proceedings will be streamed live online. All languages will be available online. We will be happy to provide you with a tablet on site, or you may use your own device. The university’s Eduroam network will be available for internet access.

On Saturday and Sunday, student assistants from the Master’s programme in Accessible Communication will be available to assist with Easy Language support. For interpreting into German Sign Language, we can help you apply to your local Inclusion Office and organise an interpreter. Please contact our team as early as possible at service[at]KLAARA.info.

An FM system from the NESIS project is available every day for direct connection to your hearing aid.

 

Taking your children to the conference

There is a family room with toys and a sofa for breastfeeding. You can get an idea of what it’s like here: Familienraum. Directly opposite is the accessible toilet with a changing table. There is also a toy box in the secretary’s office which you are welcome to borrow from. We are happy to chill your baby food or warm up a jar for you. A steriliser for your baby bottles and pacifiers is also available. Please contact us in advance at service[at]KLAARA.info if you have any further requirements.

You and your child are very welcome!
