How

Arriving

There are three airports in Berlin: Tegel (TXL), Schönefeld
(SXF), and Tempelhof (THF). Most international flights arrive at
Tegel or Schönefeld. Both airports can be reached by public
transportation. From Tegel Airport, take the Airport Express Bus
X9 to Station Zoologischer Garten, locally also known as Station
"Zoo" (Bahnhof Zoo). From Schönefeld Airport, take
the metropolitan train (S-Bahn, marked by green "S" signs)
S 9 to Station Zoologischer Garten. From Station Zoo, you can either
take a taxi or use public transportation to get to your hotel. The
section on hotel information below explains
about how to get to each hotel from Station Zoo.
Arriving
by train:
All trains arrive or stop at Station Zoologischer Garten, locally
also known as Station "Zoo" (Bahnhof Zoo). From Station
Zoo, either take a taxi or use public transportation to get to your
hotel. The section on hotel information below
explains about how to get to each hotel from Station Zoo.
How
to get to the conference venue:
If you travel by public transportation, take either the subway train no. 1 (U-Bahn in German, marked by blue "U" signs), or bus no. 110. Exit at the station "Thielplatz", which is just a few meters from the Henry Ford Building. Once you arrive at Thielplatz station on 7 December, there will be signs guiding you from the subway/bus station to the conference location.
You will also find details on transportation specific to your hotel
in our hotel information below.
Conference
schedule and format
A
short and a long version of the conference programme is available

The registration desk will open on Friday, 6 December at 8.30 a.m.
The conference begins at 9.20 a.m. and will end on Saturday, 7 December
at 7 p.m. We will have both plenary and panel sessions. Panels last
ninety minutes each. Most panels will consist of three presentations,
followed by a discussion.
Submission

or at the conference desk (Euros 130/Euros 25 reduced), as indicated

Visa
For
a formal invitation letter for visa purposes, please contact us
at berlin-conference@pik-potsdam.de
How
is the weather
Temperatures
are rather low in December, quite often as low as between 0°C
and 5°C (between 32°F and 41°F). Snowfall in early December
is quite unlikely, but still a hypothesis with some degree of plausibility
that has been verified at times in the past.
Do
you need more information?
We
are constantly updating our 2002 Berlin Conference website.
