Bremen - A Hanseatic City on the Weser

Hybrid 2027 takes place in Bremen - a compact, well-connected Hanseatic city where 1,200 years of trading history meet a thriving research and aerospace scene. The city is easy to reach by ICE and IC rail, has its own airport beside the venue, and is known for its UNESCO World Heritage market square, the Schnoor quarter and the Bremen Town Musicians.

Conference venue

ECOMAT, Center for Eco-efficient Materials & Technologies

Talks, posters and the exhibition share one roof at ECOMAT in Bremen's Airport-Stadt, where industry and science work side by side on lightweight construction, innovative materials and surface technologies - a natural home for a conference on hybrid materials. Tram 6 reaches the venue from Bremen Hauptbahnhof in about 16 minutes, and Bremen Airport is a few minutes away on foot.
