Accommodation

We are able to recommend some hotels in Duisburg, located near the University, which offer special rates. Please refer to the Conference at the University of Duisburg-Essen when making the reservation in order to obtain these special rates.

We also strongly recommend that you book your room early: there are 2 fairs in the neighbouring Düsseldorf, so hotel rooms in the area are filling fast.

Transport suggestions are suggestions only: people will greater experience in using bus and tram systems will notice the existence of a varying number of routes from the hotel to the university, and vice versa.  The chosen bus routes listed here occur relatively frequently and are simple so that those unaccustomed to the public transport system can use them with ease.
