About
EuroSciPy 2027, the 19th European Conference on Python in Science, runs 16-21 August 2027 at Leipzig University of Applied Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. The cross-disciplinary gathering focuses on the use and development of the Python language in scientific research, bringing together users and developers of scientific tools alongside academic researchers and industry practitioners. The six-day programme opens with two days of hands-on tutorials on 16-17 August, followed by two days of talks on 18-19 August, and closes with collaborative code sprints on 20-21 August. Around 200 participants, 40 speakers and 16 workshops are expected, and a dedicated maintainers track supports the people who keep core scientific-Python projects running. Institutional backers include Python Software Verband e.V., Python Academy and Pioneers Hub. Attendees gain practical training on the scientific-Python stack, direct contact with the maintainers of the tools they use daily, and the chance to contribute code during the closing sprints - a blend of teaching, research exchange and open-source community work that makes the week matter to anyone applying Python to science.

Planning your trip to Leipzig
Contains sponsored linksEuroSciPy 2027 runs 16-21 August at Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK), on the Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse corridor in the city's lively south. Late August is Leipzig at its warmest and most relaxed: long evenings, open-air cafes, and student neighbourhoods still in summer mode. For a scientific-Python crowd spending six days moving from tutorials to sprints, the appeal is a compact, affordable city where the venue, nightlife and Gruenderzeit streets of Suedvorstadt all sit within a short tram hop.
Getting there & around
Fly into Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ); S-Bahn trains reach Leipzig Hauptbahnhof in roughly 15-25 minutes. Berlin's airports are a workable alternative, with ICE trains from Berlin to Leipzig taking about 75 minutes. From the Hauptbahnhof, trams run south along Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse towards Connewitz and stop close to the HTWK campus; the ride takes around 10-15 minutes. Walking from the city centre takes about half an hour.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
As a university venue, HTWK offers eduroam to visitors whose home institutions participate, and EU SIMs roam at domestic rates across Germany. Coming from outside the EU, a travel eSIM is the simplest way to stay online between campus, trams and evening sprints. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
St. Thomas Church. Johann Sebastian Bach worked here for 27 years and is buried in the chancel. Time a visit around a performance by the Thomanerchor, the boys' choir he once led - motets are typically sung on Fridays and Saturdays. Fifteen minutes from the venue by tram, an easy pre-dinner stop.
Spinnerei art district. A vast former cotton mill in Plagwitz converted into galleries and studios, the heart of the New Leipzig School painting scene. Most galleries are free and open Tuesday to Saturday; allow two hours. Pairs well with a canal-side walk through Plagwitz's post-industrial streets west of the centre.
Voelkerschlachtdenkmal. The colossal 1913 monument to the Battle of the Nations is Leipzig's most distinctive landmark. Climb the 500 steps to the viewing platform for a panorama over the city; the crypt's stone sentinels are worth the ticket alone. Reachable by tram in about 20 minutes; plan 90 minutes.

Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse. The 'Karli' is the venue's own street: a two-kilometre strip of cafes, doner shops, beer gardens and late bars running from Suedplatz to Connewitz. Ideal for unplanned conference dinners - most kitchens serve until late, and the pavement terraces stay busy on warm August evenings.
Good to know
What is the weather like in Leipzig in mid-August?
Expect summer conditions: typical highs around 24-26C, occasional thunderstorms, and long daylight into the evening. A light rain layer is enough; lecture rooms can be warm, so dress in layers.
Do I need a car in Leipzig?
No. The LVB tram network covers the venue, the Hauptbahnhof and every listed sight; a day ticket is inexpensive and the centre is compact enough to walk.
Can I pay by card in Leipzig?
Cards are accepted in most restaurants and supermarkets, but some smaller cafes and kiosks in Germany remain cash-only, so carry a modest amount of euros.
