Ti-2027 takes place in Berlin – Germany’s capital and its largest centre of science, industry and culture. Superbly connected by high-speed rail and Berlin Brandenburg Airport, the city is home to a vibrant materials-research community across its universities and institutes.
Henry Ford Building · Freie Universität Berlin
Conference venue
Lectures, posters and the exhibition take place under one roof at the historic Henry Ford Building on the Freie Universität Berlin campus in Dahlem – a short ride on the U3 underground from the heart of the city.
Berlin is one of Europe’s best-connected capitals – direct ICE trains, Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) and the A10 motorway ring put the whole continent within easy reach.
Berlin Hauptbahnhof is a major ICE hub – Hamburg 1h45, Hannover 1h45, Frankfurt ~4h, Munich ~4h. DB Event Tickets available for participants.
Berlin Brandenburg (BER) – 30–45 min to the centre via Airport Express (FEX) and S-Bahn. Direct flights from across Europe and beyond.
The A10 Berliner Ring links to the A115 (AVUS) for Dahlem. City parking is limited – public transport is strongly recommended.
BVG U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams and buses run across the whole city. Take the U3 to Freie Universität (Thielplatz), a short walk from the venue.
Berlin offers a wide range of hotels within easy reach of the venue by U-Bahn and S-Bahn. Book early – 12 - 17 Sep 2027 is a busy travel window in Berlin.
Please note: the DGM has no partner travel or accommodation agency for Ti-2027. If anyone contacts you offering to arrange hotel rooms on the symposium's behalf, treat it as a fraud attempt and do not share payment or personal details. Official messages come only from DGM email addresses.
Travelling for a conference is a chance to see the city, too. These highlights are worth a detour before or after the program.
