Covid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our aim is to make ALGO inclusive to vulnerable groups. Therefore, masks will be mandatory at ALGO while inside buildings except when giving a talk or eating\/drinking. Additionally, the university has a mask mandate. We will provide some masks at the conference. Note that FFP2<\/strong> masks are also mandatory in public transport in Germany. Additionally, medical or FFP2 masks are required in flights entering or leaving Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend taking a covid test, e.g., a self-test before travelling to the conference and will also provide some self-tests at the conference site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ALGO 2022 will be held at the Hasso Plattner Institute<\/a> in Potsdam<\/a>, Germany, which will also organize the conference. The campus is located right at the train station Griebnitzsee<\/a><\/em> which has multiple train and bus options. Most useful is probably the line S7<\/strong> which connects to the central stations of Potsdam and Berlin every 10 minutes. Find more detailed instructions how to reach the campus here<\/a>. Both Google Maps<\/a> and Apple Maps<\/a> generally work well with public transport in Potsdam\/Berlin. Within Potsdam you can also try Nextbike<\/a>, a bicycle sharing service which has a station next to the train station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can plan your route and buy public transport tickets with the VBB app for Android<\/a> and iOS<\/a>. You will need a ticket that covers at least zones Berlin BC or Potsdam AB, but the app will handle that for you, if you put in the correct start and destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Arrival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When arriving by S-Bahn: After going down the stairs from the platform, turn right. Follow the corridor to the end, go up the stairs and then go left. The conference will mostly take place in the auditorium building (HS)<\/strong>, where you can pick up your name tag and have to sign a sheet certifying your attendance. Please plan some time for this. On Wednesday only, some WABI talks will take place in Building L. All conference venues are at most a 5 minute walk away from the train station. See arrival instructions from the S-Bahn below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
