The welcome reception is held at the lake auditoriums, which are beautifully placed by the lake in South of the park of the University. The conference opening and plenary session will be “split” between The North and South Campus, because the Aula has only 425 seats available. Streaming option will be available in the South Campus. If you are attending the conference opening and plenary session in the Aula in North Campus you will need to walk down to the Lake auditoriums in South to enjoy the Welcome reception. Follow our volunteers.
Entrance for the welcome reception is included in the registration fee.

Rethink Impact: From old cargo railway station to cultural and creative powerhouse
Godsbanen is a Cultural Production Center and a creative powerhouse in the new city district of Aarhus with various social and cultural events taking place throughout the year such as concerts, exhibitions, performances, and markets. Godsbanen opened in 2012 in the buildings of an old freight train station and has since then supported the development of cultural skills and knowledge for citizens.
The dining:
Dining is catered by Spiselauget. A restaurant inspired by the phenomenon Gastro Pub, - an abbreviation of Gastronomy and Public House. Spiselauget is an open and popular dining house where culture, food and people can meet around sustainable solutions, combined with high quality.
Practicalities:
The party will mainly take place in Godsbanens ‘Rå hal’ (Raw Hall) where the temperature will be affected by the autumn weather. Therefore, we encourage guests to wear sensible shoes and dress accordingly to the Scandinavian setting for this event.
Date: 20 October at 8 pm.
Address: Skovgaardsgade 3, 8000 Aarhus
