The airports closest to Cologne City are Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN; 15 km) and Düsseldorf Airport (DUS; 45 km). From Cologne Bonn Airport you can reach Cologne central station by regional rail in about 30 minutes; from Frankfurt Airport to Cologne it takes only an hour by InterCity Express (ICE) and from Düsseldorf Airport about 45 minutes. Cologne central station is within walking distance (about 10 minutes) from the Gürzenich Conference Center and the Dorint Hotel. You can also take bus no. 132 and get off at “Gürzenichstraße”. The other hotels recommended by the Conference Organization can easily be reached by public transport. Cologne has an efficient public trans- port system, but the recommended hotels, the venue as well as other places of interest are within a comfortable walking distance from each other. For those who are traveling by car, we recommend to use the parking ground “Heumarkt” (about 3 minutes walking distance from the Gürzenich). If you want to take a taxi, you can either get in directly at one of the numerous taxi stands or you can order a taxi by phone from one of the taxi call centers (+49 221 170000 or +49 221 2882). Uber and Lyft or other ride sharing services do not operate reliably in Cologne or are not available at all. A taxi will most of the time be the better option.
On Saturday evening, the conference will be opened officially. After the Opening Ceremony, all participants are warmly invited to join the poster session which is accompanied by a Get Together event at the Gürzenich Conference Center. This event is a great opportunity to meet and chat with many colleagues involved in Hodgkin Lymphoma research and treatment. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
Financial support was kindly provided by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) within their program “International Scientific Events”.
The Karl Musshoff Stiftung kindly supports the Karl Musshoff Prize in the categories “Best Clinical Abstract” and “Best Preclinical Abstract” as well as the “Poster Awards”.
The realisation of the conference is made possible by a grant of the B. Braun Foundation (B. Braun-Stiftung).
