Maps and directions

COS Heidelberg - a decentralized center.

COS is located on Heidelberg University's “Neuenheimer Feld” campus where you can find most of its life science and natural science research institutions. Our research groups work in a total of eight buildings, with the six floors of the INF230 building being the most prominent. Intensive remodeling is still going on in several of our sites so access restrictions and detours are prone to happen. Please contact the person you are about to visit to inquire about any exceptions.
