Go to IWF homepage

The kHz SLR Meeting will take place at the Space Research Institute (IWF) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Graz, Austria, from 27-29 October 2004. This page will contain information about the meeting, updated as the information becomes available.


Please register for the meeting until 1 October 2004.

We recommend to book your hotel as soon as possible if you want to make sure that you can stay in your favourite place (hotel details see below).

Since there is no cafeteria at IWF and the neighboring restaurants have limited seating capacity, we plan to have catering service during the meeting. If we won't succeed in finding sponsors, a small fee might be charged to cover coffee breaks and lunch.

We will confirm the receipt of registration details by e-mail.

Deadline for registration: 1 October 2004

TRAVEL INSTRUCTIONS

Public transportation
Rather complicated and impractical, both from the airport and the city. We would therefore recommend to go by taxi or rent a car (airport information).

Taxi
Of course the easiest way. Should cost about € 15 from the airport and about € 10 from the city.

Car
From the airport: Follow the signs to Graz (first left, then right), cross the railroad and turn left at the traffic lights ("Triester Straße"). After about 3.7 km (big crossroads) turn right into "Puntigamer Hauptstraße", follow the street 2.7 km, then turn right into "Liebenauer Hauptstraße". After about 1.3 km turn left at the traffic lights into "Liebenauer Gürtel", continue for approx. 1.5 km and after passing below a bridge turn left into "Maggstraße" and follow the green sign
"ÖAW - Forschungszentrum Graz". After about 600 m turn right into "Styriastraße" and continue for about 400 m. Then turn left into "Messendorfgrund" and after another 400 m turn right into "Schmiedlstraße". The Research Center Graz of the Austrian Academy of Sciences is the first building on the right side.

From Hotel Mercure: Go right into "Waltendorfergürtel/Koßgasse" and turn right at the traffic lights into "Plüddemanngasse". Go straight ahead (Plüddemanngasse leads to "St. Peter Hauptstraße") for about 3 km. At the traffic lights between two gas stations (OMV and Jet) turn right into "Styriastraße". After about 600 m turn right into"Messendorfgrund". After approx. 400 m turn right into "Schmiedlstraße". The Research Center Graz of the Austrian Academy of Sciences is the first building on the right side.

You can find a map on the official Graz pages (in German) and a link to an interactive map on the IWF pages.
