Social Program

On the first day, on Monday evening we will have a get together party in the town hall. We will take a guided walk there, passing many historical buildings ...

For Tuesday afternoon, we have organized different tours to interesting sites in Vienna. All tours are within walking distance from the conference site, and you will be guided by one of our “helping hands”. In case of bad weather please don’t forget to bring your umbrella or rain coat.

The meeting point for these walks is in the poster/exhibition area. Please be there in time (14:05 latest) and take notice to which tour you have signed up for.

At the moment we plan to include the following sites:

Besides the happening above we have a special Garden Party (weather dependent) on Tuesday evening at about 7pm, after the poster session. Here we will serve delicious regional Most and Sturm, have a special craft beer area and give you the possibility for a delicious wine tasting session.

On Wednesday afternoon we go by metro U4 directly to the Schönbrunn palace and their gardens. You can select between 1-2 different tours based on the length of each.

Austria is known for good wine, but we also have a very long tradition in brewing beer. Since we already celebrated the wine culture during the evening events on the days before, for the conference dinner we got to a typical beer garden - the "Schweizer Haus" in the Prater. The beginning of this restaurant dates back to the 19^th century, and it's located within the Prater, a former royal hunting area which was opened to the public in 1766. Nowadays it's also a well known amusement park, so after the dinner you might want visit some attractions like the Riesenrad, the well known symbol of Vienna.
