We are in Tübingen, close to the French and Swiss borders, one hour away from Stuttgart and its airport, and surrounded by nature - reachable on foot (Schönbuch), by bike (Black forest), or public transport/car (Lake Constance, Swiss alps).
Stuttgart: 42', Frankfurt, Strasbourg: 2h1/4, Zürich, Munich; 3h, Paris 4h1/4.
Tübingen is a picturesque, green, lively (and lovely) town on the Neckar valley.
About one in three of the 90.000 people living here is a student. The atmosphere is inclusive, welcoming and international, and you don't need to speak German to live here.

The Machine Learning Cluster is situated in the northern part of the town, easily accessible by bus, bike or even a nice pedestrian walk through gardens and woods. The Max Planck Institutes are just a few steps away.
