Heidelberg. Heidelberger Kongress und Tourismus GmbH (HKT) and the event management of Heidelberg University (UniTT) recently signed a co-operation deal. The aim of this alliance is to help external organisers and scientists plan conventions. For example, Heidelberg University will offer its rooms for events during lecture-free periods. International and national science and further education events at the university will also boost this segment of the city. www.cvb-heidelberg.de
