A bus will be organized to bring the conference participants and their accompanying persons to the restaurant and back to Mainz.

Excursion to the Eberbach Monastery
The Eberbach Monastery (Kloster Eberbach) is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1116 in Eltville in the Rheingau region. The Romanesque and early Gothic complex is considered one of the most significant architectural heritage sites in Germany. The inside of the Monastery was the film location for some of the interior scenes of "The Name of the Rose". A vineyard of about 300 hectares belongs to the Monastery, of which three quarters are planted with Riesling (a white grap variety typical of the Rhine region). For more information about the Monastery you can visit the Eberbach Kloster website.
Together with the visit of the Monastery, a wine tasting will be organized during the excursion. For those who would not like to participate to the wine tasting, alternately activities around the Monastery will be organized.
Guided Visit of MAMI and TRIGA
We are organizing guided visits to the MAMI electron accelerator and the TRIGA light water research reactor, both located at the JGU Campus. The visits are scheduled for Tuesday (9th of September) in the afternoon after the lunch break. Please, be aware that for security reason only a maximum of 30 places are available for the reactor visit. In this case participants must bring with them (the day of the visit) their passports or identification cards. For the accelerator visits a maximum of 35 places are available, but no need of passports.
