Accomodation
The conference will take place at the "University of Hamburg", Main Building, Hamburg city, Germany. This is an ideal place in the very centre of Hamburg, near the "Congress Centre", Alster, City Hall, several museums and churches, and the shopping mall Jungfernstieg. A lot of hotels are located at walking distance.
The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, one of the 16 states of the federation, is the second largest city in Germany with its 1.7 million inhabitants. In this sense, it is a city as well as a state.
Economically and culturally, Hamburg is also the centre of Northern Germany. 3.5 million people live in the metropolitan region of Hamburg - for them, Hamburg is a shopping and cultural metropolis.
With 755 square kilometres, the city area is seven times bigger than Paris and two and a half times bigger than London. As a result, Hamburg's living and housing standards are particularly high.
With 30 square metres of living space per person, Hamburg has the biggest average living space of all major cities in the world. As much as 14% of the city area is made up of green spaces and recreational areas.
Hamburg has 2,302 bridges - more than Venice and Amsterdam combined. With over 90 consulates, Hamburg is second only to New York City.
As a trade centre, Hamburg has always been outward-looking, that has shaped the mentality of Hamburg's inhabitants.
Hamburg boasts 31 theatres, 6 music halls, 10 cabarets and 50 state and private museums. Of the 4,000 restaurants in Hamburg, 2,400 offer foreign cuisine.
The banks of the Elbe and the Alster rivers are perfect for a stroll. The port sight-seeing trips are impressive and offer a special perspective on the panorama of Hamburg.
Right in the heart of the city, there is a large lake: the Alster. A boat tour on the Alster ends in the city centre, where one can shop or simply relax in a street café. Hamburg's modern busses and underground trains (S-Bahn) will take you anywhere fast and for a small fare.
The area around Hamburg is especially delightful. The fruit-growing area of the "Altes Land" with its old farmhouses is especially suited for excursions by bus or on bicycle. The historic old towns of Stade and Lüneburg can be reached in half an hour, and a trip to Lübeck or the beach on the Baltic Sea takes only one hour by car.
How to reach Hamburg, by air, rail, car
Whether by air, rail or road – Hamburg has excellent traffic links with the whole world. Hamburg Airport offers direct international connections to Europe, America, Africa and Asia. With the new ICE route, Berlin can be reached by rail in 90 minutes. Being a hub in the international motorway network, Hamburg is very well linked up with the whole of central and northern Europe.

With its four long-distance rail stations, Hauptbahnhof (centre), Dammtor (centre), Altona (west) and Harburg (south) Hamburg is perfectly embedded in the European high-speed train network. In addition to Hamburg’s main rail stations, ICEs call at Lüneburg and Uelzen, and IC/ECs at various other places in the metropolitan region.With Hamburg as the rail hub for Northern Germany, all the main cities in Germany can be reached within a few hours (e.g. Munich in 6 hours, Stuttgart in 5 hours, Cologne in 4 hours, Frankfurt in 3 hours) and so can the Northern European metropolises of Copenhagen and Stockholm.
