General Information

Congress Venue

The congress will take place in the district of Poppelsdorf. The area can be reached by bus lines no. 620, 624, 625, 626, 627 leaving from the central bus/main railway station. From the pedestrian zone and the main university building the walking distance along the Poppelsdorfer Allee is 10-1 5 min. The lecture halls are in the Institutes of Anatomy, Geography, Physics, and the Poppelsdorf Castle (see map on back cover). The Registration Desk of the congress is located in the foyer of the Institute of Anatomy (B on map). A message board is located in the registration area. For the comfort of all, smoking is not permitted inside any congress area.

Sessions

Sessions will take place in five lecture halls. The posters will be exhibited in two rooms at the Castle. Please refer to the schedule at-a-glance and the area map. Posters should be set up on Tuesday at 14:00-18:00. The poster format is 1 x 1 m. All posters will be exhibited for the duration of the congress. Authors should be at their posters at the respective times; please refer to the program schedule. Please be sure to wear your badge for admittance into the sessions.
Equipment for slide check will be available in the registration area.

Luggage Room

A room will be available where luggage is guarded from 8:00 to 19:00. However, the organizer cannot take any responsibility. Optional Events
Optional events include (please refer also to the map on the back cover):
- Welcome Reception at the Aula of the University (A on map, Tuesday, 19:00-21:00), free of charge.

Administered by the central organization T4 the Patients were systematically collected in the psychiatric hospitals all over Germany. The remains of the extermination machinery - now a memorial - will be presented in the context of historic documents of the eugenic ideas.
