ICON S Conference 17 – 19 June 2016 Humboldt University Berlin

Venue
The 2016 ICON S Conference on “Borders, Otherness
and Public Law” will be held at Humboldt University
Berlin. All Conference events will take place on the University’s
Campus Mitte, which is situated in the center
of Berlin. The University’s historic Main Building is at
the heart of Campus Mitte. It has the following address:
→ Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Unter den Linden 6
10117 Berlin, Germany
All of the plenary events of the 2016 ICON S Conference
will take place in the Audimax, the main lecture
theatre, in the University’s Main Building. The registration
desk will be in front of the Audimax. For our panels
sessions, we will use the Main Building ( UL6 ), two
buildings of Humboldt University’s Law Faculty ( BE2
and UL9 ) and a Seminar Building ( DOR24 ). All buildings
are in immediate vicinity of the address mentioned
above. You will find a map of Campus Mitte on page 6.
If you are travelling to Berlin by coach:
Berlin’s Central Bus Station ZOB is located close to the
city’s trade fair exhibition grounds ( Messe ). It is a short
distance from the bus station to the underground stop,
Kaiserdamm. Take the U2 underground line to Pankow
and get off at the Hausvogteiplatz stop. Follow the
signs for Taubenstraße / Marktgrafenstraße / Gendarmenmarkt
and exit the station. After ca. 100m, turn right
into Marktgrafenstraße and follow Marktgrafenstraße.
It is a short walk from there to Humboldt University’s
Main Building and all other Conference venues.
If you are using public transport in Berlin:
Humboldt University’s Campus Mitte is a short walk
away from the Friedrichstraße station. The Friedrichstraße
station is a local transport hub and is served
by several regional train lines ( RE1, RE2, RE7, RB 14 ),
local train lines ( S-Bahn lines S1, S2, S25, S5, S7, S75 )
and Berlin’s underground line U6. You can also use
the Hausvogteiplatz underground station on the U2
underground line. If you get off at Hausvogteiplatz, use
the exit with the signs for Taubenstraße / Marktgrafenstraße
/ Gendarmenmarkt. After 100 m, turn right into
Marktgrafenstraße. See the Map on page 6.
Transportation
We suggest the following routes to our
Conference participants:
If you are travelling to Berlin on a long-distance train:
Use Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof (main station). From Hauptbahnhof:
Take any eastbound S-Bahn (local railway)
in the direction of Friedrichstraße station and get off
at Friedrichstraße station. It is a short walk from the
Friedrichstraße station to Humboldt University’s Main
Building and all Conference venues.
If you are travelling to Berlin by plane:
Berlin is served by two airports: Tegel ( TXL ) and
Schönefeld ( SXF ).
From Tegel you can either take a taxi or the express
bus line TXL, which will take you directly to the
University’s Main Building, if you get off at the bus stop
called Staatsoper.
From Schönefeld you can either take a taxi or a regional
train. Use the regional train lines RE7 and RB14,
which also called Airport Express, to the Friedrichstraße
station. It is a short walk from the Friedrichstraße
station to Humboldt University’s Main Building and all
Conference venues. There are direct regional train services
between Schönefeld and Friedrichstraße station
roughly every 30 minutes. You can also use the S-Bahn
(local railway) from Schönefeld to Friedrichstraße, but
you will have to change trains at the Ostkreuz station.
