Venue: Forschungszentrum Jülich
WeM2027 – the second edition of our conference highlighting Women in Electron Microscopy will again be held at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) in Germany. The FZJ is one of the largest interdisciplinary research centres in Europe and a founding member of the Helmholtz Association.
Please note that access to the campus is possible only by providing a valid passport or ID card.
Detailed information on how to reach us is available on the FZJ Homepage.
Jülich is situated in the triangle between Cologne, Düsseldorf and Aachen. If you travel by plane, Düsseldorf airport is usually the most convenient choice. From the railway station at the airport, we recommend to continue to Düren main station by train. Some trains go directly to Düren whereas other connections involve a change at Cologne main station. From Düren main station you can continue by bus to reach your hotel.
For our invited guests we have booked rooms at the “Dorint“ Hotel in Düren.
For all other participants we have arranged a call option at special rates. It is available by booking via telephone (+49 2421 4402-0) or email (reservierung.dueren@dorint.com) using the keyword “Women in Electron Microscopy”.
Please note that this special offer is available only until January 25th, 2027.
As traveling to Jülich is inconvenient, we will organize a shuttle bus that will pick you up at the Dorint Hotel in the morning and bring you back in the evening. On the last day the bus will make an extra stop at Düren main station in the evening.
