We are meeting at the c-base space station, 3 minutes from public transport S+U Jannowitzbrücke in the heart of Berlin.

There you will find the main hall with the bar for presentations, discussions and hacking, a seminar room for up to 15 for workshops, two spaces for a smaller groups in the basement and upper floor and not at least the fully equipped riverside with powersockets, light close to the grill station. For the weekend we booked another room for presentations at European Theater Institute right next door to the seminar room.

You will find yourself at Berlins most famous hackspace, where you can use repair and assembling shops as well as meeting with Berlin's net activists and hacker scene. freifunk.net is available, since the roof top node is part of the BerlinBackBone.

In case you need an invitation to get a visa, please send an email with an introduction and your details to organizers AT wireless-meshup.org

Thanks to our supporters we are happy to provide some travel scholarships that are given not only but prefered to people not living in Europe to enable members of wireless communities to attend the event.

1) Please apply for the travel scholarships by sending in a link with a 2-3 minutes video that answers the questions below until April 7th to organizers@wireless-meshup.org

We would like to ask you to describe your situation and contribution in short:

• Who are you, where are you from?
• Why would you like to attend Wireless Mesh-up?
• What impact in your local environment do you expect from your participation?
• What would your contribution/talk/session be about?
• How much would the flight cost?
• Do you need an invitation to get visa?

2) A jury composed by mentors and local Freifunk team decides on the best applications until 15th April.

3) Easiest way for Förderverein freie Netzwerke is, if you could pay upfront and provide us with the invoices with your name on it. But we can figure out together, how to deal with this in detail as it happens.
