Generally, Berlin has lots of hotels, many of the reasonably priced. When choosing your hotel, bear in mind that the conference is held in Adlershof, in the southeast of Berlin. Berlin is a large city and it can easily take an hour to get to Adlershof from the centre and even longer from some suburbs. Use this itinerary calculator provided by S-Bahn Berlin and/or the public transit map to find out how far your accommodation will be from the venue.

On Friday, you can have lunch in the university cafeteria. There are some other restaurants in Adlershof, mostly along Rudower Chaussee. Options are very limited on the weekend. We will provide lunch on Saturday.
