Travel-related costs have to be covered by the participants (about 20€ from Jena by train). Additionally, the summer school will reimburse transportation fees for selected students. Our journey will begin in Jena by taking a train to Bad Kösen for approximately 30 minutes, followed by a 20-minute walk from Bad Kösen's train station. Please keep in mind the walking time when preparing for the summer school. We will meet in front of the Mensa Ernst-Abbe-Platz in Jena on September 4 at 2:45 PM.
