Your hotel stay will have been paid for and includes breakfast at the hotel. During the Summer Conference, we will provide coffee and snacks, other beverages, lunch and dinner. However, you may wish to buy extra food, or souvenirs, or you may require something from the pharmacy. For such cases you should ensure you have enough cash (Euro) with you or check beforehand with your bank whether your credit or debit cards will work and be accepted in Germany! The Georg Eckert Institute keeps no cash on the premises and cannot spontaneously advance money for any eventuality.

Yes, we recommend you arrange travel health insurance for your visit to Germany, it may even be required to enter the country. To be sure, please check the entry regulations for Germany.

The Georg Eckert Institute cannot provide or pay for any insurance. Please check your insurance cover and ask your insurers whether you need any additional travel health insurance to enter Germany. In some cases, travel health insurance is required in order to apply for a visa.

You are responsible for making your own travel arrangements to and from Braunschweig. -> see also "How do I get to Braunschweig?"

There will be no shuttle service.  We no longer organise collective shuttle transportation as arrival times vary and delays occur. Braunschweig is easy to reach by train from the airports in Hannover, Berlin, and Hamburg and we therefore strongly advise the use of public transportation for your travel to and from the airport in Germany.

Arrival by plane

The nearest airports to Braunschweig are Hannover (HAJ), Berlin (BER) and Hamburg (HAM). Frankfurt (FRA) is another international airport with train connections to Braunschweig.

All airports have good transport links and you can easily travel to Braunschweig main station. You can buy your train ticket online in advance, or purchase one from a ticket machine in the respective train station or on the platform from which your train is leaving. It is important to note, however, that ticket machines do not always accept credit cards and you cannot buy tickets on the train.

Arrival by train

You can find the best train connection for you on the Deutsche Bahn website.

Participation in the conference is supported by the Georg Arnold Program in the form of individual travel grants (regional lump sums) to cover travel expenses for contributing participants.

These lump sums are intended to cover all travel expenses associated with travel to Braunschweig, including any visa costs. No additional travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Payment will be made on the basis of a Scholarship Agreement, which will be sent to you individually.

The travel grant will be paid during the week of the conference. No advance payments will be made.

Cash payments and bank transfers will be made in Euros only.

In your scholarship agreement, you can specify how you would like to receive your travel grant. Scholarships may be paid in cash (especially to non-EU citizens or people from countries where international payments in Euros are restricted). These cash payments will be made at the end of the conference week.

All payments (whether in cash or by bank transfer) will be made in Euros only.
