EASY-ECO Saarbrücken Conference

The Venue

The ‘training center’ (http://www.bildungszentrum-kirkel.de) in Kirkel was established by the “Chamber of Work” (Arbeitskammer des Saarlandes) in 1956. Yearly, about 20,000 employees are being trained in the Bildungszentrum. The building’s agreeable learning atmosphere is being used for a number of different events by the Arbeitskammer as well as by unions, political parties, foundations and companies. Though being placed in the open countryside, the venue’s transport connections are extraordinary, for example through the highly frequented railroad between Saarbrücken and Homburg. The car park is free of charge. Technically, the venue’s brilliantly equipped. Last but not least, the kitchen enjoys a very good reputation, even outside Saarland.
