The workshop will take place in person at the Hotel Jagdschloss Niederwald in Rüdesheim (Rhein)
from 26 to 27 September, 2023 with the 25^th and the 28^th for traveling.

On request, we will provide online meeting features in addition that take advantage of the best that the two modalities offer.

In the evening of the 25^th there will be a welcome reception followed by dinner.

The scientific program will take place over two days and will start at 9.00 a.m. on Tuesday, the 26^th, and end in the late afternoon on Wednesday, the 27^th.

The setting and the limited number of participants (ca. 30 persons) provide a very convivial atmosphere for the ready exchange of thoughts and ideas.

The language of the workshop is English.

The dress of the meeting is casual/informal.

Photographs may be taken during the meeting which subsequently may be published on the Beilstein-Institut website and in our social media channels.

All participants are requested to register with the registration form sent out by personal mail.

Location

The hotel is located on top of the Rheingau heights of Ruedesheim.

By plane to Frankfurt (Main), Cologne or Dusseldorf

Rüdesheim is located ca. 50 km west of Frankfurt airport which can be reached by almost all airlines from Europe and Overseas. Other airports close to Ruedesheim are Cologne and Dusseldorf.

From these airports, it is then possible to travel by train via Mainz and Wiesbaden to Ruedesheim.

Low-price airlines fly to Hahn airport from where bus connections to Koblenz, Mainz and Frankfurt are available.

 

By rail

Travel to Rüdesheim via Frankfurt central station (Frankfurt/Main Hbf) or to Mainz-Kastel (direction Wiesbaden) and take a taxi to the Jagdschloss Niederwald Hotel. At Frankfurt central station take the train VIA RB10 to Rüdesheim/Rhein (direction Neuwied). For Main-Kastel, take the S9 (direction Wiesbaden) and change to the train VIA RB10 to Rüdesheim/Rhein (direction Neuwied).

At Rüdesheim train station it is recommended to take a taxi as the Hotel Jagdschloss Niederwald is not located within the city of Rüdesheim but on top of the heights.
