Overview

The workshop sessions will be held in the Erwin Schrödinger Zentrum, a modern conference facility on Campus Adlershof. The social programme with icebreaker, conference dinner and optional dinner is organized in Berlin Mitte to give you an insight into the cultural life of Germany’s capital. The two locations are connected by the frequent city trains.

Berlin is serviced by the three airports Berlin-Tegel, Berlin-Tempelhof and Berlin-Schönefeld, and the German Railway. You can easily reach the workshop sites and the hotels recommended below from either one of the airports or the train stations "Zoo" and "Ostbahnhof" by public transport.

Upon registration at the conference you will receive a ticket which entitles you to full use of public transport (S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Busses) during the time of the conference.
