We will have a vegetarian lunch buffet during the conference (12:30 pm – 01:30 pm) in the foyer of the venue. The participants who selected lunch option for each day will get lunch tickets at the registration. Coffee, Tea, Water and Juices will be provided for all participants during the whole conference.For the participants who have decided to not have lunch at the conference venue we listed some alternative lunch options on http://conf2016.geobon.org/information/faqsIn the neighbourhood you can find some supermarkets, bakeries, a butcher and a small Bistro as well as a Burger King Restaurant (10 min walk each). The Suite Hotel (Permoserstr. 50, 04328 Leipzig) also has a restaurant.Please consider that these are the only possibilities in a feasible distance to get any food on site!

Please notice: Unfortunately, we are not allowed to use the cafeteria of UFZ during the time of the conference. Therefore, we would kindly ask you to not enter the UFZ Cafeteria.
