Accessibility and Childcare

Accessibility

We aim to make the conference as accessible as possible taking into account the historical architecture of Aarhus University:

  • We will provide detailed maps highlighting step-free routes and the most accessible paths between and within buildings
  • Additional maps will indicate routes specifically suitable for wheelchair users and individuals with limited mobility.
  • All main buildings are accessible, but wheelchair access is limited in two of the five parallel session venues.
  • Accessible toilets are available throughout the venue.

Childcare and family support

We welcome families and aim to support caregivers attending the conference.

  • Children are welcome in all conference spaces, including scientific sessions and social events.
  • Breastfeeding is allowed everywhere at the venue.
  • A dedicated family room will be available, equipped with:
    • a calm space 
    • a microwave, tap water access
    • chairs for feeding
    • space for naps 
  • Changing tables will be available in designated bathrooms 
  • We do not provide childcare services, but informal family-friendly spaces will be available at the venue.
  • Some lecture halls may pose challenges to access with strollers; baby carriers are recommended for infants.

Calm and quiet spaces

We recognise the need for sensory breaks and silent workspaces during large events.

  • Designated calm rooms will be available for rest, reflection, or quiet work.
  • These rooms are separate from informal meeting spaces and will be clearly signposted.

A navigation guide with walking times between buildings, accessibility notes, calm room locations, and family-friendly areas will be shared in advance of the conference. Please don’t hesitate to contact the local organizers for further information.
