We are aware of the importance of accessibility and want to make our congress as inclusive as possible. Accessibility is a complex topic that we as organizers and participants of the congress want to work on together. As organizers, we have set ourselves the goal of meeting the different needs of the congress participants as best as possible. At the same time, we are aware that there are structural barriers. Local and situational challenges may arise during the congress, as the Duisburg campus is unfortunately not barrier-free. We have set out to identify and remove barriers wherever possible, while at the same time providing information about the barriers that we have not been able to remove. The information on this page is updated on an ongoing basis.

If you have any accessibility requirements or other general conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Suggestions or concerns are also welcome at any time.
