The venue Mediencampus Villa Ida of the Media Foundation of Sparkasse Leipzig, situated in Leipzig-Gohlis, is the seat of all three foundations of Sparkasse Leipzig as well as of Leipzig School of Media (LSoM), European Institute for Journalism and Communcation Research (EIJK) and of the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF).
The modern building at Poetenweg was opened in 2006 and makes an attractive architectural contrast to Villa Ida located opposite at the same venue. The three-part ensemble consists of a conference building with the Schillersaal and seminar rooms, an apartment house with restaurant and a conservatory/patio area. Conference organisers and participants as well as speakers and lecturers appreciate first class conditions, like technical equipment and experienced technical support by the staff.
Mediencampus Villa Ida was designed according to a modular system, that means both large rooms in the ground floor (Schillersaal) and two of the three seminar rooms are separated by mobile walls that can be easily removed in order to be more flexible and get more space when needed. All rooms have modern light-, audio- and presentation equipment. There are cameras in the large room for live streaming and video conferences. All organisers of conferences and seminars get organisational and technical support by a competent team.
