Venue
INClab (Google Maps)
By bus: Take at the “Bushof” (central bus station) the bus number 12 or 22, direction “Campus Melaten” and get off the bus at Bus Stop “Wilfried-König-Straße“.
By car: The parking garage (Google Maps) is next to the Production Engineering Cluster, the entrance is located behind the Cluster building on Steinbachstraße close to the junction Steinbachstraße and Campus Boulevard.
Parking in the parking garage is free. But please do not park on the reserved (labelled) parking lots. There are enough non-labelled parking lots on the higher floors of the parking garage.
Take the main entrance, turn right and take the second elevator to the 4th floor (building 1A) – or take the rear entrance, turn left and take the second elevator to the 4th floor (building 1A)
Instead of organizing the Users’ Meeting in sessions, each one corresponding to our traditional areas of application like we have done in previous years, we decided that the event in this year will have the topic “Sustainable materials processing“ as an overarching theme. On Friday we will have a dedicated session on database development.
At this year’s GTT Users’ Meeting, we will also have an extra session in the afternoon of Thursday, June 27th: we will feature a preview of a new software that will allow the simulation of kinetic processes, including mass and heat transport as well as reaction kinetics. We will also introduce GTT’s development goals for the next year for this software and look forward to your feedback and the discussion with you, which will both be invaluable to help us plan for the next development steps. Please note that this session will not be available online.
If you are interested in giving a presentation at our GTT Users’ Meeting 2024, please send an email, containing the general topic of your contribution, your name, and your affiliation to jr@gtt-technologies.de. There are still a few slots available for presentations. In-person presentations are preferred, but a few online presentations are possible.
If you would like to stay up-to-date with everything related to GTT-Technologies, including courses, future users’ meetings, and new versions of our software and databases, please sign up for our newsletter.
Registrations are now open for the GTT Users’ Meeting 2024, please use the registration form below to register.

We’re looking forward to seeing many of you in person again after several years!
