Würzburg is a city in the region of Franconia in the north of the German state of Bavaria. Würzburg is the administrative seat of the Regierungsbezirk Lower Franconia. It spans the banks of the Main River. The population is approximately 130,000 residents, of which more than 37,000 are students pursuing research projects and degree programs at the Julius-Maximilian University and the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt. Würzburg’s Julius-Maximilian University was home to 14 Nobel Prize winners, such as Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (Nobel Prize in physics for the discovery of x-rays, 1901) and Klaus von Klitzing (Nobel Prize in physics, 1985). 

The central lecture hall and seminar building Z6 is located at the Hubland campus. It accommodates three lecture halls with 1,041 seats in total. Since 2011, it has been used by various faculties for lectures and seminars.

The second floor opens to the west with a terrace. From here, one has a magnificent view of the city, the Main valley and the Marienberg Fortress.

The newly opened Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science of the JMU Würzburg conducts research in in Machine Learning, Data Science, Image and Text Analysis, AI Systems, Ethics/Legal/Societal Acceptance, and Economy and Transfer.

Quaint restaurants and traditional wine taverns offering local fare. Of course, you can also opt for international cuisine at superb restaurants. And don’t forget that this is one of the best wine-growing areas in Germany. So don’t miss the opportunity to sample a local wine from a Bocksbeutel bottle. This should be a mandatory part of any visit... 

On the first evening of the XR meeting, we booked some tables at the "Alter Kranen" restaurant which offers traditional Franconian cuisine and beer.

For the second evening, we will visit the Bürgerspital - one of the big wineries in Würzburg. There we will have our social event, a lovely opportunity to exchange ideas and get to know other XR researchers and practitioners.
