Visa Formalities  

Delegates from all EU countries may enter the UK without a Visa.
However, please note that as the UK is not a member of the Schengen agreement, passports will be required for ALL visitors (including citizens of EU countries) at the point of entry. Citizens from non-EU countries will require a Visa unless their country is a member of a reciprocal Visa-waiver scheme with the UK. If in doubt, you are advised to check the Visa requirements prior to departure for the conference.

If a formal invitation letter is needed please contact the congress office at DECHEMA e.V. in good time.

Insurance  

The organisers cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to the private property of participants and accompanying persons which may occur either during or arising from the conference. Participants should therefore take whatever steps they consider necessary for their insurance.

City of Edinburgh  

Edinburgh is situated on the east coast of Scotland’s central lowlands. It has been the capital of Scotland since 1437 and is the seat of the country’s devolved government. The Old Town and New Town districts of Edinburgh were listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. The city is one of the world’s major tourist destinations, and is the most popular tourist destination in Scotland. Edinburgh is famous for the Castle, the Royal Mile and, of course, the Forth Bridge that always needs painting.

Scotland is renowned for its hospitality, its beautiful countryside, famous whisky, and golf courses, including the most popular golf course of St. Andrews.
