Media/Press
We have teamed up with a German college specialized in media training (DEKRA Hochschule für Medien, Berlin) to create innovative media contents to report on the conference. You will see students with a label “DEKRA Team” roaming the conference making videos of the events, sessions and meetings. They might also spontaneously ask you to answer a couple of questions about your experience at the conference. A short video based on this content (best of the day) will be shown every morning prior to the plenary lecture. They will also release news and photos on social media. Let us know if you want us not to take pictures of you during the conference upon registration.
Press accreditation can be obtained by contacting Sina.Loeschke@awi.de
Venue/Maps
Participants will be provided with a free transportation ticket for the Potsdam area. Transport information and maps are available on the venue page:
