Johann Wolfgang Goethe University – Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Wednesday, 28 May (12:00) to Thursday, 29 May 2008 (18:00)
Ludwigstrasse 15, 60327 Frankfurt am Main Tel +49 (0)69 / 242390 Fax +49 (0)69 / 251539 Bristol Hotel is centrally located within walking distance from Frankfurt central station in the heart of the city, approximately 1 km from the meeting venue at the Guesthouse of the Goethe University (Frauenlobstr. 1 60487 Frankfurt am Main Tel 0049 (0)69 798-0), one of the major institutions of higher education in Germany.
