Social Program

Wednesday, September 15: Dinner at SKY Restaurant

Meeting: 18:30, in front of the conference venue (Karlsplatz 13)

The first conference dinner will take place at SKY Restaurant (aka. Skybar), which apart from fine food offers a view of the inner city from amidst the rooftops:

Dinner will consist of a pre-ordered four-course meal. The price of the dinner as well as an aperitif, beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages are included in the conference fee.

SKY Restaurant is within walking distance from the conference venue and centrally located Hotels. After meeting in front of the TU's main building, we will walk on Kärntnerstraße toward Stephansplatz and take the glass elevator up to the restaurant.

Thursday, September 16: Dinner at a Heuriger

Meeting: 18:20, in front of the conference venue (Karlsplatz 13)

The second dinner will take place at a traditional Viennese Heuriger, a type of tavern serving wine from its own production:

You will be able to choose your food (including vegetarian choices) from a buffet. The price of the dinner as well as beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages are included in the registration fee.

From the meeting point, we will walk to the State Opera House to take tram line D from the stop Kärntner Ring, Oper to Nußdorf, Beethovengang, which is also the end of the line. During the 30-minute ride, the tram will pass various interesting sights in the city center. The Heuriger is just across the street from the stop where we will exit the tram.
