5 reasons to register to the DG-GT Theme Day

There many compelling reasons to attend the DG-GT Theme Day!

Be exposed to the the latest developments in this fast-moving field. Learning about the advances and breakthroughs in labs around the world can translate to new approaches for your own lab’s work that you may not think to explore without this exposure. The DG-GT Theme Day is the best place to gain an in-depth perspective of the field.

Investigate potential opportunities for collaborations or develop relationships with other organisations on behalf of your research team. The DG-GT Theme Day provides ample opportunity to meet with attendees with similar interests.

Present your work to a highly relevant and supportive audience. Attendees who present at the DG-GT Theme Day receive excellent exposure and feedback for their work and their lab.

Bring information and training back to the lab. Findings presented at the DG-GT Theme Day can be shared with other lab and team members to extend the benefits of attending to your entire research group.

Learn about the newest data and tools from the poster sessions and the exhibition. Labs save time and money by improving their research methods. New tools and technologies are unveiled to attendees of the DG-GT Theme Day.

The meeting is organised by the German Society for Gene Therapy (DG-GT) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology (IZI Fraunhofer).

Reaching Fraunhofer IZI

The Fraunhofer IZI can be reached from central Leipzig (Hauptbahnhof or Augustusplatz) in 15 minutes by tram 16. Get off the tram at the stop An der Tierkliniken, cross into the Puschstrasse and then turn left into the Perlickstrasse. The Fraunhofer IZI will be immediately on your left.

Reaching Leipzig

Leipzig is most easily reached by high speed train. If you are travelling internationally, Leipzig has an airport (Leipzig/Halle Airport), which is 12 minutes away by train or 25 by S-Bahn. Alternatively, Berlin airports Tegel or Schönefeld are approximately 2 hours away by high speed train.

We recommend that you stay in central Leipzig, where there are many excellent hotels available to book through our external hotel portal. The speaker hotel will be the Vienna House Easy Leipzig.

The Fraunhofer IZI can be reached from central Leipzig with a 15 minute tram ride, please see "Venue and how to get there" for more information.

Time is short in our full and exciting programme, but to give you time to mingle and network we have planned a drinks reception at the Fraunhofer IZI on 16 September. You can then join a tour of the vibrant city of Leipzig!
