The Conference Venue
CAC 2028 will be hosted at University of Rostock, Germany. Founded in 1419, it is the oldest university in the Baltic Sea region and one of the oldest in Northern Europe. It boasts a rich academic tradition deeply intertwined with the history of the Hanseatic city.
The conference sessions will take place in the modern lecture halls located at the main campus, situated right in the vibrant heart of the city. This central location offers participants easy walking access to hotels, restaurants, and the historic harbor front.
