The address of the main building is Straße des 17. Juni 135. The entrance to the conference is on the campus side (see the map below).

By car

Coming from the north - Hamburg/Rostock (A24 autobahn):

At the motorway junction Oranienburg take the A111 to Berlin Zentrum, and at the motorway junction Charlottenburg turn onto the A 100. Leave at the Kaiserdamm exit, and turn left at the end of the slip road to turn onto the Kaiserdamm boulevard (later Bismarckstrasse). Continue over the traffic island into Strasse des 17 Juni, and the Main Building of the TU Berlin is on your right after 100 yards.

From Hannover (A2) and Leipzig, Nuremberg:

Take the motorway A10 (Berlin Ring) to the Drewitz motorway junction, then the AVUS (A 115) to Berlin-Zentrum. At the Funkturm follow the signs to Wedding, but then take the first exit to Kaiserdamm. Turn left at the end of the slip road to turn onto the Kaiserdamm boulevard (later Bismarckstrasse). Continue over the traffic island into Strasse des 17 Juni, and the Main Building of the TU Berlin is on your right after 100 yards.

By rail

At Central station take a regional train (RE1, RE2, RE7, RB10, RB14) or S-Bahn (S5, S7, S75, S9) to Zoologischer Garten. The main campus is only a five minute walk from Zoologischer Garten railway station. You can also take a Bus (M45, 245 oder X9) or the U-Bahn (Line 2) to Ernst Reuter Platz. (Or you can stop a taxi and take a fixed rate short ride from Zoologischer Garten).

By plane

Tegel:

The airport is very close to the Main Campus. Take the airport shuttle bus (X9) to Ernst-Reuter Platz (15 minutes) or take a taxi (10 minutes) for ±20€).

Schönefeld:

This is across the city 30km from the center, so a taxi is ± 60€.
Both options take about an hour:

• Take a 171 bus to S-Bahnhof Schönefeld, then take a regional train (RE7, destination Dessau) or S-Bahn (Line 9, destination Westkreuz) to Zoologischer Garten. From there you can walk down Hardenbergstrasse (five minutes), take a bus (M45, 245, or X9), or take the U-Bahn (Line 2, destination Ruhleben) one station to Ernst Reuter Platz. (Or you can stop a taxi and take a fixed rate short ride).
• As an alternative you can also go the underground station Rudow (by bus 171), and from there take the Line 7 (destination Rathaus Spandau) to Bismarckstrasse, then change onto the Line 2 (destination Pankow) and travel two stops to Ernst Reuter Platz.

Tempelhof:

Take a 104 or 248 bus to Platz der Luftbrücke, then take the underground U-Bahn Line 6 (destination Alt-Tegel) to Hallesches Tor, change onto Line 1 (destination Uhlandstrasse), at Wittenbergplatz change again onto Line 2 (destination Ruhleben) and travel two stops to Ernst Reuter Platz.
