When you are at Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof (the main railway station), you may take the buses E, Uni-Express, 615 or 645 to the main campus of the University, exit at "Gaussstrasse". Alternatively, you may walk up the hill (15-20 minutes). Here is a map of the main campus ("Grifflenberg") of the University, and you may find additionial travel information (in German) here.

There is no formal registration, but please send an email to Mrs. Birkenfeld (birkenfeld (at) math.uni-wuppertal.de) so that we can estimate the number of participants. Please also indicate whether you want to join us for dinner on May 6 at the restaurant "Locanda San Lorenzo" (Untergruenewalder Str. 11). We will meet there at 7 pm (so you have time to stop at your hotel on the way).

Hotels: The speakers will stay at the Hotel Central in the City Center of Elberfeld near the Main Railway Station of Wuppertal. We have reserved a small number of additional rooms at this hotel for other participants. If you wish to book one of those, please contact directly the hotel and indicate that you are a participant of the NRW topology meeting. Other hotel options in the same area include the "Hotel Astor" and the "Hotel Arcade".

Here is a list of previous NRW-Topology meetings.
