There will be four finalists, and for each the registration and accommodation costs will be waived and a personal check of 250 USD will be issued. The finalists will present their work in a special section of the plenary sessions.
Entrants for the EIA competition should be either students or postdoctoral fellows (postdocs or clinical fellows with over 6 years experience are not eligible for the competition).

The Bauhaus (1919-1933) was Germany's most famous school of classical modernist art and design. In 1919, the Grand Ducal Saxon School of Art was amalgamated with the Arts and Crafts Seminar founded by Henry van de Velde in 1907. Under its new name, the "State Bauhaus in Weimar", the school moved into van de Velde's premises. The influence of the Bauhaus was so great that the term "Bauhaus" is often equated with modernist architecture and design. At the Bauhaus, areas which were traditionally kept separate - fine arts, applied arts and performing arts - were brought together under one umbrella concept, which in turn profoundly influenced painting, performing arts and music.

Monday's dinner (included in your registration fee) will be held at the first Thuringian guest-house brewery "Felsenkeller“, a place with a long tradition. Their historic arches exist since 1792. In 1875, Ludwig Deinhardt bought the brewery from the city of Weimar. This included the rock cellars where the beer was brewed and stored.
Enjoy the traditional house-brewed beer and delicious food at the "Felsenkeller".
This guided tour is limited to the old town of Weimar. Here you will see the highlights of the classical era – the places where Goethe, Schiller, Herder and Wieland worked.
Although free, you need to sign up to join this tour. The tour will begin and end at the Dorint Hotel.
Only some people know that Johann Sebastian Bach lived and worked for about ten years in Weimar. Weimar also became a musical "magnet" with Franz Liszt, who was followed by famous names such as Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss. You will be given interesting insights into the development of Weimar's musical history.

Weimar is situated in the heart of Germany, approximately mid-way between Berlin and Frankfurt am Main.
The recommended airports are Frankfurt (FRA) and Berlin (SXF/TXL). These are important international airports and especially Frankfurt offers connections to essentially the whole world.
If flying into Frankfurt (FRA), please be aware that the airport has its own train station (Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbahnhof, Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Fernbf, or simply Frankfurt(M) Flughafen when checking train timetables; see below).
The German rail (DB) website is available also in English and can be used to buy your tickets. Enter FRA Frankfurt Airport or Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Fernbf in the From box and Hauptbahnhof, Weimar (Thür) (Weimar central station) in the To box. You will need to change at Erfurt; from there, the trip to Weimar is only 15 minutes. The whole trip Frankfurt-Weimar takes about 3 h, depending on the train. If buying tickets in advance with the "saving fares" option (Sparpreis, in German), be advised that the ticket is only valid on the train(s) specified on your ticket. If you miss the train you will need to pay the full fare, minus a part of the original ticket price.
If flying into Berlin Tegel (TXL), take a bus to the main train station (Hauptbahnhof, in German) and, from there, a train to Weimar. Use the German rail (DB) website and enter Berlin Hbf in the From box. You will need to change at Erfurt; for further details, see also the instructions provided above for the trip from Frankfurt airport.
Berlin has another airport, Schönefeld (SXF). In this case, take the S-Bahn to the main train station; see above for details concerning the train trip to Weimar.
Closer airports include Leipzig-Halle (LEJ) and Dresden (DRS). These offer many connections to other European cities, as well as some more distant destinations.
Many online services are available for flight selections; we advise, for example, skyscanner.
For train timetables (and the acquisition of tickets), use the German rail (DB) website, available in English and other languages.
