LOGISTICS FOR FACE-TO-FACE MODULES
In terms of logistics, we would be very happy to assist. The university campus in Sankt Augustin is well located as it is close to the ICE high speed train station (40 minutes from the airport in Frankfurt), not far from the city center of Bonn (15 minutes by public transport) and close to the airport Cologne / Bonn. In Bonn and Sankt Augustin there are several guest houses, B&B or hotels.
