The Icebreaker (September 29th, 2019) will be taking place at the conference venue, the Courtyard by Marriot Hannover Maschsee Hotel. The hotel looks over the beautiful Masch-see, a lake in the centre of Hannover, popular as a recrea-tional and water sports area. The Banquet (October 2nd, 2019) will take place at the same location, consisting of a barbeque on the hotel terrace.

Icebreaker & Banquet
Host CityFrom ground-breaking architecture and infrastructure to highly attractive recreational areas, Hannover boasts many contrasting local attractions. With more than 60 different theatres and museums, Hannover with its approximate 525,000 inhabitants was recently awarded the title UNESCO City of Music. Those looking for a little bit of nature will find a huge selection of quiet spots in Germany’s greenest city, including the largest city forest in Europe and the Maschsee lake where the sailing boats and palm-fringed promenades create an instant Mediterranean flair in the midst of the city. The holiday region also offers exciting excursion destinations, such as Marienburg Castle and Steinhuder Meer, north-western Germany’s biggest lake. The historic Old Town presents itself with medieval streets and half-timbered buildings. Hannover boasts the world’s largest exhibition centre and has a great reputation for its hospitality. As an international trade fair and event venue, Hannover stands in the international spotlight every year.

Technical TourParticipants of the technical tour will get the opportunity to visit a number of cutting-edge hydraulic, experimental facili-ties in Hannover-Marienwerder. On the premises, the Coastal Research Center (Forschungszentrum Küste, FZK) operates the Large Wave Flume (Großer Wellenkanal, GWK). With its length of 307 metres, a depth of 7 metres and a width of 5 metres, the GWK is one of the largest wave flumes in the world. Starting in summer 2019, the flume will be upgraded with a new wave generator, additional current generators (up to 0.5 m/s) and a deep pit section. Next to the GWK, the Leibniz University Hannover has access to a total of almost 16,800 square metres sheltered laboratory space and 24,000 square metres of out- door space. Within this facility, Ludwig-Franzius-Institut oper-ates various experimental programs allowing for year-round operation of hydraulic models. In addition, Technische Univer-sität Braunschweig runs a 32 metres long wave-current flume that is a 1:10 model of the GWK to conduct equivalency mid-scale experiments. The laboratory also features a novel tsunami and long wave generator of 80 metres length and 4 metres width which is mutually operated by the two Universities.
AccessibilityThe Hannover Airport (HAJ) is located in Langenhagen, 11 kilo- metres north of the center of Hannover. The airport has flights connecting Hannover with all major European metropolitan and international destinations. Moreover, other international airports are also located nearby: Hamburg Airport (HAM), Berlin Airport (BER), Münster / Osnabrück Airport (FMO) and Bremen Airport (BRE). Intercontinental connections are avail-able from Hannover via Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC).
