Evening Programme: Discover & Celebrate Styria
Get to know the area around Graz on 03 July 2025
We’re excited to invite you to a very special part of BAGECO 2025—an afternoon and evening designed for you to relax, connect, and experience the beauty of Styria (Steiermark) together with the BAGECO community.
Our day begins with your choice of one of two guided excursions* to explore the stunning surroundings of Graz. Whether you're curious about nature, culture, or simply want to enjoy a change of scenery, the excursions offer the perfect setting to chat, laugh, and connect with fellow participants outside the conference rooms.
We’ll depart together at 1:00 PM from the University Library Graz, with shuttle buses taking you to the excursion sites. Around 4:30 PM, the tours wrap up—but the evening is just getting started!
From there, we’ll head straight to the Social Evening at Schilcherhof in Ligist, where you can look forward to a relaxed atmosphere, delicious Styrian food, and great company. It’s the perfect chance to unwind and deepen connections in a warm and welcoming setting.
To make things easy, shuttle buses will:
-
Take excursion participants directly to the Social Evening venue
-
Bring Social Evening-only guests from the University Library
-
Return participants not attending the evening back to the Library
Participation fees:
-
Excursion: 50 EUR
-
Social Evening: 80 EUR
We really encourage you to join us for both the excursion and the Social Evening—they’re planned as a combined experience and a wonderful way to see more of Styria, unwind, and get to know each other better.
*Please note that you can book only one excursion, as both take place at the same time.
