The annual meeting will be held at the University of Helsinki
Entrance and lockers: Fabianinkatu 33. Behind the entrance hall elevators and in the so-called Meeting center, there are plenty of lockers with RFID functionality (e.g., bank cards with contactless payment capability) where you can leave your valuables and outerwear (lockers come in different sizes). In the Small Hall, there is a limited number of coat racks, so primarily use the lockers.
Registration and morning coffee: Lobby next to the Small Hall, 4th floor (Fabianinkatu wing)
Exhibition, Posters & Breaks: Agora, 1st floor (Aleksanterinkatu wing)
Sessions: Small Hall, 4th floor (Fabianinkatu wing)
