Next TEH Meeting

WELCOME TO TEH MEETING 70
Moritzbastei, Leipzig, Germany
9–12th of September 2010

1. About the meeting

The meeting will be held at Moritzbastei, in the heart of Leipzig, and its theme is "Art. Culture. Business".

The cultural centre Moritzbastei in Leipzig is located in an old bastion from 1551. It is the only remaining part of the ancient town fortifications of Leipzig. The centre is well-known for its programme and its long and interesting history. More than 30 000 students rebuilt the bastion in the seventies and made it one of the biggest student clubs in Europe. Today Moritzbastei is run as a cultural centre by a company under control of a foundation without any public subsidies.
