Travel, Accomodation and other Recommendations

Conference venue

The EDILIC-conference will take place on the premises of the University’s Faculty of Education (Von-Melle-Park 8), the plenary sessions in lecture theatre G of the Phil-Tower(Von-Melle-Park 6). The buildings are located close to Dammtor railway station and are therefore easily accessible by public transport.

  • Train (S-Bahn): From the main train station it is a three-minute ride on the S2 to Dammtor station, where the main campus is located. From there it is a 10-minute walk to the Von-Melle-Park 8.
  • Bus: Lines 4,5 and 19 go directly to the university (“Dammtor (Messe/CCH)” bus stop). Line 5 runs from the main station (stop “HBF/Mönckebergstraße”) to the venue (“Grindelhof” stop).
  • Car: Due to limited parking, we strongly recommend taking public transportation.
