Synopsis

European Optical Society proudly welcomes optics and photonics professionals to its 6thTopical Meeting on Terahertz Science & Technology (TST 2018) in Berlin, Germany. The topical meeting is expected to gather around 100 participants from Europe and all over the world to Radisson BLU Hotel, located in the heart of Berlin, between 6th and 9th of May, 2018. The chairs of the conference are Prof. Heinz-Wilhelm Hübers from German Aerospace Center(Germany) and Dr. Jozsef Fülöp from University of Pecs (Hungary). This topical meeting provides a platform on which the latest results in the generation, detection and use of THz radiation in science and technology will be presented and discussed.

How to get there

From Tegel Airport
The easiest way from Tegel Airport is to take the TXL JetExpressBus to Spandauer Strasse/Marienkirche, which is a 2-minute walk across the street from the hotel. At the airport, buses stop outside Terminal A and B.

From Schönefeld Airport
From Schönefeld Airport, follow the covered walkway to the train station. Take either the RE 7 or the RB 14 Airport Express to Alexanderplatz station, they run twice hourly and take just under 30 minutes. From Alexanderplatz head down Karl Loebknecht Strasse towards the River Spree. The hotel is on the right, just before the bridge, and the walk will take you around 10 minutes. Alternatively, take either the M4, M5 or M6 tram just one stop, from S+U Alexanderplatz Bhf/Gontardstr to Spandauer Str./Marienkirche, and the hotel is around the corner on Karl Liebknecht Strasse.

Transport options

The venue is well connected with many transport options

Bus and Trams
Bus (100, 200) and tram (M4, M5, M6) depart around the corner at Spandauer Strasse / Marienkirche - 50 meters.

Metro Stations
The S-Bahn is a short walk away at either Alexanderplaz (S5, S7, S75, U8, U2, U5, Regional Express train, Airport Express train) or Hackescher Market (S5, S7, S75)

Train Stations
Ostbahnhof - 2.4 km
Hauptbahnhof, Berlin’s Central station – 3 km
