Freiburg, known as the capital of the black forests, combines the flavour of its medieval city center with modern urban life. Located in the triangel of Germany, France and Switzerland, it is well known for its mild climate and warm evenings in fall to visit restaurants and beer gardens and learn about „savoir vivre“ with local Baden cuisine and wines. The Black Forest and the wine regions around offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy sports and recreation activities as well as entertainment in concerts or

theatres.

The conference will be held in the conference center (Konzerthaus Freiburg) that is easy accessible with public transportation. It is located in walking distance to many hotels and the city center. We cordially invite you to visit IFESS 2008 and spend some time with us in the beautiful southwest of Germany.
