7pm: Welcome Dinner at Restaurant Bernstein, Niederwall 2 (Applicants and faculty only)
The Bernstein is next to “Jahnplatz”, which has an underground tram station. All lines stop here (if you choose the correct direction, of course). From the hotel, it it should be a 5-minutes walk. If you get lost, just ask. Anybody in Bielefeld knows the “Jahnplatz”. Look for the shop “TK Maxx” (white letters on red background). Behind the right-hand corner of this building, you find the entrance to the restaurant. You have to take the elevator to the top level.

- A few minutes about the prospective PhD project.
- A laptop will be provided. Your slides should be in PDF or PowerPoint format.
Travel/Accommodation
The following page from the University's website helps you to find the campus, the buildings and rooms, but also gives hints on how to get to Bielefeld itself:
http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/%28en%29/Universitaet/Ueberblick/Anreise/
Arriving at Bielefeld Hbf (main station), exit the building towards the city center; you should see a white buildung (Hotel “Bielefelder Hof” - not your hotel!) in front of you (if you see a Cinemaxx, you are on the wrong side!). Cross the street to get to the underground tram (Stadtbahn / U-Bahn) station.
- To go to the University, take tram line 4 towards “Universität / Lohmannshof”. (You need a ticket for Zone 1 for 2.30 Euros)
- To go to Hotel Arcadia, take any tram line towards “Rathaus”, “Senne”, “Sieker”, “Stieghorst” and get out at “Rathaus”. (Just two stops. A short distance ticket “K” is sufficient, 1.50 Euros.) Instead of the tram, you can also choose a 15 minutes walk trough the city center.
Hotel Arcadia
The hotel is located in the city center next to the old town and close to the tram. Check-in: 24/7
Niederwall 31-35, 33602 Bielefeld
