The program includes:

Potsdam, the city of famous architects and regents, will fascinate you with its rich culture, parks and history in a magnificent dimension – right at the gates of the German capital Berlin. The city is known worldwide especially for its historical heritage as the residence of the German emperors.
Join us for three exciting days of sharing the dynamics and engagement of the global science community and moving forward together.
We look forward to welcoming you to Potsdam in October 2023.
