The reception (including dinner) on Friday will take place at another venue that belongs to ESMT. ESMT and Humboldt University School of Business and Economics are closely connected via the Berlin School of Economics, which offers career development programs in economics, accounting, finance, and management at the PhD and Postdoc levels as well as various research seminars. The reception will be hosted in the building that formerly housed the headquarters of the German Democratic Republic. Reaching the conference venue requires a scenic 10-minute walk (yes, you can walk through the Humboldt Forum, a museum located in the rebuilt Berlin Palace).

Transportation
From the airport: The commuter rail line S9 takes you directly from the airport to Alexanderplatz. It takes about 45 minutes. There are usually faster connections via regional express trains, but they may require you to change trains. In any case, you will need a public transit ticket for zones ABC, which you can buy from local vending machines or via the app of the Berlin transport service provider BVG. We recommend the app; it is more convenient and it will reliably show you the fastest transit connection to your destination (may save you some minutes on your way from and to the airport).
From Berlin Central Station (Hauptbahnhof): You have the option to take either the underground line U5 (from the lower decks, watch out for a blue U) or any of the commuter rail lines (from the upper decks, watch out for a green S) to get to Alexanderplatz. An AB ticket will suffice for the journey.
Accommodation
We have blocked 150 rooms at the Hotel Motel One Alexanderplatz at negotiated rates until February 13. You can reserve these rooms on a first-come-first-served basis. If you want to make a reservation, fill in and follow the instructions on this form. Motel One Alexanderplatz is conveniently located within a few minutes walk of Berlin Alexanderplatz station and Humboldt University School of Business and Economics.
There is another branch Motel One Hackescher Markt nearby in case Motel One Alexanderplatz is fully booked (Motel One usually offers good value for money). There are plenty of other nearby hotels that can be found on the usual platforms such as booking.com.
Surroundings
Plenty of opportunities to entertain yourself are just around the corner. There are shopping opportunities along Münzstr./Hackescher Markt/Oranienburger Str./Auguststr., intermixed with various art galleries. Various world-class museums are concentrated on the museum island (UNESCO World Heritage). Popular sightseeing spots such as Brandenburg Gate and the Holocaust Memorial or the Government district are within reach of a convenient walk along the representative Boulevard Unter den Linden (it features the main buildings of Humboldt University, two of the city's three opera houses, the state library and many other representative buildings).
Code of Conduct
Participants must adhere to the UEA conference code of conduct.
