PhD Student Event

This was a special evening event for PhD students – AND ALL OTHERS! It was conceived as a platform to support the students in building up their network and offering space for discussions. The PhD event took place at one of the famous beer garden in Munich on Tuesday, June 28, 2016 at 20:00 o’clock.

Every registered student received two vouchers and a bag from our sponsor xC Consultans at the beer garden.
The event was a full success with the whole beer garden being full of people connecting and enjoying themselves.

Gala Evening

As a special evening event of ECCM17 the gala dinner took place on Wednesday, June 29, 2016 at 19:30 o’clock in the historic Festival Hall of the traditional Hofbräuhaus Munich. The participants enjoyed a delicious traditional dinner, accompanied by jazz music as well as a typically Bavarian show act. The Hofbräuhaus is well known, famous and one of Munich’s oldest breweries. The historic setting was built by Duke Wilhelm V. in 1589 and is still used today for celebrations of all kinds, as it had been in previous decades. A special feature of the Festival Hall’s architecture is the large, vaulted ceiling with its frescos of Bavarian coats of arms. Since it rests on the outside walls, the vault was built without columns despite its enormous weight. The large arched windows are flanked by very old charter flags of all Bavaria’s administrative districts. Equally decorative are the frescos on both rear walls with balustrades reminiscent of Venetian palazzos. Three 32-light chandeliers providea harmonious finishing touch, underscoring the hall’s splendor. The Festival Hall represents a perfect blend of traditional and modern design. The event was a triumph with good food, music and dancing.
