 Centrality

In Thuringia you have time for the essentials!    

It couldn't be more central, because thanks to its convenient location, the Free State is easy to reach by various means of transport from all over Germany and Europe. The state capital Erfurt, as an ICE hub, is only a stone's throw away - see for yourself here. And thanks to the short distances on site, you have more time for your conference content and team experiences.

Science

Outstanding research and technology landscape.

Top research is at home here in Thuringia - in the center of Germany. Take advantage of this compact knowledge, proven expertise and exclusive insights as a top-class addition to your conference. 

Ten universities and more than 40 research institutions and their successful work contribute to the state's excellent reputation. In addition to universities and universities of applied sciences, non-university research institutions such as the Max Planck Society, the Fraunhofer Society, the Helmholtz Association and the Leibniz Association are also located here. You will find concentrated know-how in Jena, the "beacon" of Thuringia's university landscape.

Economy

Attractive business location between tradition and high-tech  

Innovative, creative and attractive - an exciting symbiosis for your next conference!
