We are very happy that the GALA conference will be held in person.

 The conference will mainly take place in the IG Farben building. The main entrance to the building is depicted above. 

You can find a more detailed map of the Campus Westend (Norbert-Wollheim-Platz 1, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany) and further information on how to get there here.

We are following the COVID protocols of Goethe University and the State of Hesse. Very few general COVID safety measures apply at the moment. Most importantly, there is no general obligation to wear masks indoors; there is also no legal obligation to wear masks in universities. Note that you have to wear a mask in buses and trains.

More information on the rules in the city of Frankfurt and Hesse is available here.

Palmengarten (Botanical Garden Frankfurt)

This superb botanical showcase was originally established thanks to the purchase of the Duke of Nassau's excellent tropical-plant collection. A special greenhouse was erected to house these plants, enabling visitors to meander through a jungle-like tropical environment. The Palmengarten is one of the largest surviving structures of its kind in the world. In the 150 years of its existence, the Palmengarten has added further show houses, like the Flower and Butterfly House or the Alpine House.
