If you choose to get to your hotel by public transport, the easiest way is first to board the CAT (City Airport Train), which brings you directly into the city centre, leaving every 30 minutes from the airport.

Once you arrive at Wien Mitte/Landstrasse you have easy access to the Viennese underground system.

If you would like to plan your journey within Vienna in advance, you can fill in a form with the relevant data (departure from Wien Mitte/Landstrasse, arrival at your hotel's address) at the following link: Vienna Public Transport.

The congress venue can be reached by the underground line U1 (red line, direction Leopoldau). Get off at Kaisermühlen/Vienna International Centre and take the exit marked Schüttaustrasse.

Light jacket or warm overcoat and boots? Umbrella or sunglasses? Please bear in mind that in Vienna during March it is still winter! Right now the temperature is between 5 and 10 degrees, quite mild for the season, with a chance of rain.

Have a look at Austria's official weather forecast website to facilitate your planning.

Don’t forget to pack your dancing shoes for another eagerly anticipated ECR Party! A fantastic evening of all-night revelry awaits our guests, as we step back in time to the 1950s, with sensational swinging sounds, a delicious buffet and an unlimited bar!

Relax in the brand new Residents and Students Lounge at ECR 2009!

Residents and students comprise a growing proportion of ECR delegates, which is something the ESR is very keen to encourage! So as a gesture to the future leaders of our departments, hospitals and societies, we have created the Residents and Students Lounge especially for them at ECR 2009.

The ECR Residents & Students Lounge provides a place to relax and network while enjoying free refreshments. The lounge is located on the right hand side of the first floor and is open Friday through Monday from 8am to 6pm and Tuesday from 8am to 12am. Relax with your colleagues, enjoy free drinks, fruit and music, and pick up your free lunch voucher.

All ECR 2009 abstracts can now be accessed online via the Scientific Programme Planner. This easy-to-use tool allows you to explore the entire scientific and educational programme by session type, topic and date. You can also search for abstract texts, authors and abstract titles.

In addition, the system offers a user-friendly feature to help you create your personal schedule for the whole congress, either to print out or upload to your PDA. Planning your personal ECR could not be easier!

EIZO Display Technologies will present its latest multi-input, 8MP color display system, bringing a new dimension of flexibility and workflow improvement.
