Venue & Travel
STM'27 takes place at the University of Stuttgart, with the Satellite Workshop hosted at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. Both venues are located in southwestern Stuttgart and well connected by public transport. This page covers everything you need to plan your trip: venue details, accommodation, airport and train connections, local transport, visa information, and practical tips for your stay.
Main Conference Venue
— University of Stuttgart
The main scientific program (plenary lectures, parallel focus sessions, poster sessions, and the industry exhibit) is held at the University of Stuttgart, Campus Vaihingen.
- Address: Pfaffenwaldring 47, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany
- How to get there:
- By S-Bahn (public rail): take S1, S2, or S3 to Universität station (not "Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof" — go one more stop). From the main station (Hauptbahnhof), journey time is approximately 15 minutes.
- By car: parking is limited on campus; use the public parking at [exact location] or Park & Ride at Vaihingen station.
- On foot from Universität S-Bahn station: approximately 5–8 minutes.
Satellite Workshop Venue
— Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research
The STM'27 Satellite Workshop (15–17 September 2027) takes place at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (MPI-FKF), located directly adjacent to the University of Stuttgart's Vaihingen campus.
- Address: Heisenbergstraße 1, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany
- How to get there:
- From Universität S-Bahn station or the main conference venue: approximately 20-30 minutes on foot, or 5 minutes by bus (line 82 or 92).
- The MPI campus and the University of Stuttgart Vaihingen campus are close enough that attendees of both can realistically stay in the same accommodation.
Accommodation
Stuttgart has a wide range of hotels across all price points. We recommend booking early — September is a busy period for Stuttgart.
