Venue

The conference is going to be kicked-off in Potsdam, Germany at the

Investitionsbank des Landes Brandenburg (ILB)

Adress

Babelsberger Straße 21
14473 Potsdam – Germany

The venue is located south-east of the city centre and only a short walk from the main station.
Registration will be in the foyer while the kick-off takes place in room AG001.

Approach

We recommend approaching the venue via public transport like the tram or regional railway by heading towards Potsdam main station. If you are approaching the main station from the north via tram, you can also get off a stop earlier at the station called „Lange Brücke“ in order to take the quickest route.
If your mode of transportation ended either insight or south of the main station, we recommend making your way through the station and leaving via the northern exit. From there, cross the street, turn right and follow the pedestrian walkway until you reach the address. The rout is, depending on your mode of transportation, less than 450m long and should only take 7 min at maximum.


On the second and third day, the conference will take place in Potsdam, Germany at the

Leibniz Institute for Agriculture Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB)

Adress

Max-Eyth-Allee 100
