The Energy Data Hackdays take place at the FHNW Campus Brugg-Windisch in Switzerland, which is conveniently located and easy to reach by public transport.

• 🚊Train station: The closest station is Brugg AG. It is well connected with regular direct trains from major Swiss cities such as:
  • Zurich HB (~25 min)
  • Basel SBB (~45 min)
  • Bern (~60 min)
  • Lucerne (~60 min)
• From Brugg AG station, it’s just a 5–10 minute walk to the FHNW campus buildings.
• You can plan your trip using SBB.ch or the SBB Mobile App for real-time connections and ticket information.

🚗 Can I come by car? Is parking available?

Yes, but parking space on campus is very limited.

• There are a few public parking spaces around the FHNW buildings (Building 1 and Building 5/6), but availability is not guaranteed, especially during weekdays.
• We recommend using public transport whenever possible.
• If you do drive, you may find paid parking options in the area (e.g. at Bahnhof Brugg or in Windisch town center), followed by a short walk to the campus.
