Practical information for presenters

Information for in-person presenters: Since this will be a hybrid event with several presenters joining us online from outside Europe, we will use a single computer for all in-person presenters to make sure that the Zoom/audio set-up works. We therefore ask everyone who is presenting in person to email us their slides at gapsandimprecision [at] gmail.com until the day before their talk.

Similarly, if you are presenting in person and using a handout, please send us your handout via email in advance.

Full talk presenters have a 40-minute slot (this includes both presentation and discussion time). It is up to you how exactly to divide the slot, but ideally try to aim for 10 minutes or more of discussion time.

Short talk presenters have a 20-minute slot (this includes both presentation and discussion time). It is up to you how exactly to divide the slot, but ideally try to aim for 5 minutes or more of discussion time.

How to get to the venue

The best way to get around Berlin is by metro (U-Bahn) and local train (S-Bahn).

  • The venue (Pariser Straße 1) is near the metro stationSpichernstraße, which is served by the U3 and U9 lines.
  • The metro station is a bit labyrinthic. Try to follow the signs for exit D, which is right next to the venue.

How to get there from the main train station (Berlin Hbf): Take the S-Bahn to Zoologischer Garten(3 stops in the western direction), and change to the metro line U9 there (you have to leave the station building to get to the metro entrance). From there, it's only two stops to Spichernstraße.

How to get there from the airport: Take a regional train to the main train station (Berlin Hbf). Most of these trains are labeled FEX, but some of them might have other labels. From there, take a train go to Zoologischer Garten station (it is worth checking whether your train from the airport stops there after Berlin Hbf). At Zoologischer Garten, change to the metro line U9 (you have to leave the station building to get to the metro entrance) and go to Spichernstraße (2 stops).

Note: Berlin-Brandenburg airport is quite far away from the city center, so it might well take you a bit more than an hour to get to the venue. 

The workshop will take place in Ilse-Zimmermann-Saal, which is to the left of the main entrance of the building at Pariser Straße 1. Please note the following complications:

  • The building is shared with several other institutions and private companies and usually not open to the public. We will try to keep the main entrance open throughout, but in case someone else closes it and you can't get in, send us a message.
  • There is another seminar room on the other end of the building, which has a different address (Meierottostraße 8). If you feel you are in the wrong place, try to walk around the building to the other room.
