TSD2025 is organized by the Plzeň crew from the Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of West Bohemia again (as every odd year). For the upcoming run, we decided to move TSD again out of the Bohemian basin and go abroad! Thus, we hooked up with our friends from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the "touring again" TSD2025 will take place in the beautiful and peaceful Middle Franconian university city of Erlangen. Both Erlangen itself and the close Franconian metropolis Nürnberg (or Nuremberg in English) have a lot to offer and are eager to show you. Erlangen of these days constitute a conurbation with Nuremberg, however, it played an important role in the prehistory of Bavaria. The first signs of settlements in this region are dated about 25,000 years ago. Nuremberg is the largest city in Franconia and the second-largest city in the German federal state of Bavaria. It has about 544,000 inhabitants which makes it the 14th-largest city in the whole Germany. The city was first mentioned in the year 1050 as the location of an imperial castle.

The TSD2025 conference is officially recognized as an
INTERSPEECH 2025
satellite event again and the topics and programmes will be coordinated. Rotterdam and Erlangen lie in neighbouring countries – some 530 kms (330 mi) from each other and there is a frequent air connection between Amsterdam-Schiphol airport (50 kms from Rotterdam) and Nuremberg – there is a KLM flight 3× a day (you may look for AMS → NUE using e.g. letuška.cz or kiwi.com).
