Preliminary programm
Participation
Due to limited space the number of participants is restricted to 60. In general, we receive more applications than available places, and in this case the organizing committee selects the participants. Selection criteria are: level of education, number of applicants from a city/university/institute etc. Students who are at the start of their careers are generally recommended to attend the Autumn School first.

The venue
Ettal is a small but well known town in Bavaria near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in the Ammergauer Alps, the largest nature reserve in Germany. The village of Ettal is famous for the Benedictine Monastery founded by Ludwig IV - "the Bavarian" - in 1330. The unique monastery complex is one of the highlights of Bavarian Architecture.
Participants will stay at the hotel “Ludwig der Bayer” - a typical Bavarian hotel in the centre of Ettal. The lectures are held in the Chinese Hall of the Ettal monastery.
