MKWI 2008 will take place in Garching near Munich, which is located north of Munich, about 60 km north of the Alps, where you can find a spectacular natural scenery and world-famous castles.

Technische Universität München

The Technische Universität München is a cradle of computer science. In 1967 it was the first German university to offer a complete course of studies in computer science and led the way for similar courses at other universities.  Through international contacts that date back to the 1950s, it has been and still remains one of the world's top addresses for the exchange of ideas in the field.

The MKWI 2008 will take place in the building located at the Garching campus (north of Munich).  In summer 2002, the Department of Informatics and the Department of Mathematics moved into this completely new building. The modern equipment of the building includes an extensive network infrastructure and computer labs.

Munich and Garching

Munich offers various tourist attractions, like the City Hall and the Hofbräuhaus, and renowned museums, like the three Pinakotheken and the Deutsches Museum. In addition to this, Munich offers a variety of activities for conference attendees and accompanying persons.

Some examples are: a Munich opera or concert by one of three international Orchestras; guided tours of the various museums; trips to the nearby lakes and beautiful alpine countryside. It is also possible to take a tour to one or more of the famous Bavarian castles (Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau, Linderhof, Herrenchiemsee) built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria or visit some of the numerous baroque churches.

Garching is directly linked to Munich by a subway line.
