Pre-Conference Workshop

Tuesday, September 2nd

We are pleased to announce a pre-conference workshop that will take place prior to the main event. You can find further information here.


Conference Dinner

Thursday, September 4th

The LL16 conference dinner will be held at the Unperfekthaus in Essen, a venue that truly embodies the theme Spaces of Collapse and Transformation. Once a monastery, it has been transformed into a creative hub for art, collaboration, and responsibility, symbolizing renewal and reinvention. The Unperfekthaus is located a pleasant 10 mins walk away from the conference venue or via subway (station: “Berliner Platz”).

Address:
Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 18-26
45127 Essen

The dinner will feature an all-vegan menu, reflecting a commitment to sustainability, progressive action, and inclusivity. Reservations are handled through ConfTool. Participants may purchase additional tickets for non-participants (spouses, etc.). To support early-career scholars, we also offer a discounted price for the conference dinner (drinks included):



60€ – conference participants and guests
45€ students

Join us for a memorable evening in this inspiring space that perfectly captures the spirit of LL16 – see you at the roof terrace!

We will publish the conference program on this page as soon as it is finalized.

… coming soon.
