Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - IOSOT 2025

Arrival and Accommodation

Please note: We have recently been informed that a purported travel agency is sending booking requests to speakers based on public information from the IOSOT website. The agency has nothing to do with IOSOT Berlin 2025. Its mails are fishing attempts. In case of doubt, please contact Bernd Schipper or Jonathan Böhm to verify the authenticity of the information you receive by e-mail.

 

Congress Venue

The academic program of the IOSOT 2025 will take place in the main building of the Humboldt University (Unter den Linden 6) as well as in the university building Hegelplatz (Dorotheenstraße 24).

Special events will be held at the Red City Hall, the Faculty of Theology, and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Science and Humanities. 

 

Your Arrival

There are several trains every hour from BER Airport to Berlin Friedrichstraße. The train station is about a 10-minute walk from the main building of the Humboldt University. At the airport train station, there are ticket counters where you can get advice on buying tickets and also several ticket machines

We recommend downloading the DB Navigator app for your phone to plan your trip.

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide pre-booked hotel rooms or discount codes for hotels etc.

Since Berlin is a popular travel destination during the summer months, we recommend booking your accommodation well in advance.

For their convenient locations and reasonable prices, we recommend the "Motel One" hotels (also known as "The Cloud One" in the U.S.), which, despite their misleading name, are actually hotels.
