Application

The registration covers all lectures, accommodation for 3, 4 or 7 nights in shared rooms, and breakfast and dinner. If you plan to go skiing, additional costs may arise. Language of instruction is English. If more people register than there are places available, we will prioritize applications of students who conduct a PhD that is closely related to the topic of the winter school.

Venue and Travel

The Venue is Söllerhaus – a small family run hotel with lecture rooms – situated in the Kleinwalsertal just above Hirschegg, directly in the skiing area Heuberg.

Söllerhaus is reachable by public transport. The next train station is Oberstdorf/Allgäu (Germany) and there is a bus to Hirschegg, which run several times per hour and takes about 30 minutes. Participants will have to organize their own travel from and to the winter school. We will help to coordinate this.

Information about the skiing area can be found at: http://www.kleinwalsertal.com/en/holiday-worlds/activities/skiing/skiing-region
