The traveling distance between the airports in Dortmund, Cologne/Bonn and Düsseldorf and the Ruhr-Universität Bochum is two hours at the most. Düsseldorf airport is the most easily accessible one, with up to eight direct trains per hour running between the airport and Bochum’s main train station; the journey takes about half an hour. You can buy tickets directly at the train stations at ticket automats.
You can reach the Ruhr-University, which has its own station, easily by catching the underground (U-Bahn) train U35 (CampusLinie). You can get into the underground at the main station Bochum. On workdays, the U35 (going to Bochum Hustadt) departs in five-minute intervals, and it takes 10 minutes to go from the main train station to the university station.
The event takes place in the new lecture hall HIB (yellow arrow) at the Ruhr-University Bochum. In the map, you find the way from the underground stop "Ruhr-Universität Bochum" to the lecture hall HIB.
