Bartenbach GmbH is located at Aldrans (Address: Rinner Straße 14, 6071 Aldrans), nearby Innsbruck. A shuttle bus is organized to take all participants from the city centre to Aldrans in the morning and back after the workshop has ended at the end of the day. If anyone plans to come directly to Aldrans, please let the organisational team know, so we don't have to wait with the bus.
The pick-up and drop-off location and times of the shuttle bus are:
- Departure location: in front of the Rathaus Galerien / Penz Hotel entrance at the Adolf-Pichler-Platz (here)
- Departure time: 7:50 a.m.
- Arrival time after the workshop: ca. 18:00 p.m.
August 29 & 30: Workshop day 1 & 2 @ University of Innsbruck, Campus Technik:
Seminar room ("Seminarraum") nr. 1 and 2 at the ground floor ("EG" or "Erdgeschoss") of the ICT-Building ("ICT-Gebäude") at the Campus Technik (which is located in the west of Innsbruck). This building i.a. hosts the Informatics department of the University of Innsbruck, which offers a good description on how to arrive at the ICT-Building from the city on their website. This includes the public transport possibilies from the city centre to the Campus Technik, mainly practical are the following two trams that generally depart every ten minutes (online timetable for Innsbruck can be found at: www.ivb.at):
Coming from the main train station:
- Tram 5 (Technik West) takes you directly to Innsbruck Technik (17min / 9 stops)
Coming from the historic center:
- Tram 2 (Peerhofsiedlung or Technik West) takes you directly to Innsbruck Technik (about 13min)
The address of the ICT-Building is:
Technikerstraße 21a
A - 6020 Innsbruck
In the picture below, the bigger building in the middle/left is the Engineering Sciences Building; here the hosting unit (Unit of Energy Efficient Building) is located; however, the Workshop Days take place at the ground floor of the ICT-Building, which is the smaller four-story building at the right side.
