From Göttingen train station to the ENI:

To get from the main station (Hauptbahnhof) to the Coordination Office / ENI (Grisebachstr. 5) by public transportation (bus; approx. 2 Euros for single ticket), there are two options:

Either bus number 21 or 23 (direction "Faßberg") which are departing at the bus terminal (platform D) in front of the train station.

The bus takes only ~14 minutes to our office. Please note that the bus is operated only from Monday to Friday every 30 minutes, the schedule on weekend is more sparsed. With both buses you have to get off at bus stop “Kellnerweg”. Walk in the same direction the bus takes. Where the street splits up, take the street on the right, turn left and pass through between two buildings which are connected by an overhead passage. Walk straight ahead, up the small hill and you will come to a parking area. Turn right and you will see a white building with orange window frames which is the European Neuroscience Institute (ENI). The Coordination Office can be reached via the main entrance of the ENI, Grisebachstr. 5 (about three minutes walk from the bus stop). Click here for bus schedules or a connection planer (unfortunately only in German) from the local bus service, Göttinger Verkehrsbetriebe (GöVB).

A taxi will take you from the train station to the ENI building in approx. 10-15 min (10-12 Euros)
