The conference fee covers catering services throughout the event, including the conference dinner. Please note, however, that participants must pay for their own lunch. Various options in different price categories are available on campus and nearby.
The conference venue is centrally located on the campus. From here, you can easily reach two university canteens: Mensa Bambus is located directly to the east of the conference venue inside the Georg Forster-Building. Another canteen is the Central University Canteen (Zentralmensa), about 8 to 10 minutes’ walk westwards. Click here for more information on the different canteens on the campus.
Please note that cash and credit card payments are not accepted in the campus canteens. To pay for lunch in the canteens, we recommend using the payment app. You must register and add credit to the app first. Credit can be added at machines located in the Zentralmensa, Mensa Bambus, and the Central Library (Zentralbibliothek) by scanning a QR code and depositing cash (notes only). You can also withdraw any remaining credit from these machines.

You can also have lunch at Diwan, a fast food restaurant located on campus, offering a variety of delicious Arabic specialties such as kebabs and falafel. If you have a bit more time, the Baron restaurant near the main entrance is a good choice. Here, you can enjoy à la carte dishes, Pizza or tarte flambée (Flammkuchen) or one of the daily specials. On pleasant days, the terrace provides a great spot to enjoy your meal outdoors. Both Diwan and Baron accept cash and credit card payments.
Furthermore, there are two supermarkets (Edeka and Aldi Süd) within a 10-minute walk from the main entrance. Additionally, the University Chaplaincy’s canteen (Mensa der Hochschulkirche KHG) is available, where payment in cash is also possible.
