| − | The JKI was founded 110 years ago the "Kaiserlich Biologische Anstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft" (Empires Biological Research Station). It is an interesting historical building that also has some large experimentation fields - I hope we can take a stroll if the discussions are becoming too heated.

| − | | + | |
| − | Berlin was supposed to have closed its two old airports and opened a new one in June, but it has just been delayed for another 9 months. For those who have been in Berlin everything stays the same: you can choose freely between Tegel (TXL, slightly more convenient when taking public transport to the hotel) and Schönefeld (SFX). When searching for flights, you can enter the code BER into the search, this will find any flights to Berlin regardless of airport. Public transport transfer time from TXL to Rathaus Steglitz will be around 35 Minutes (X9 Bus + U9 subway), from SFX it will be around 40 Minutes.

You can walk in about 7 minutes from "U Dahlem-Dorf", from Rathaus Steglitz it would be a 20 Minute walk, but a convenient Bus (Line X83) should transport you much faster. The Bus stop is "Arnimallee".
