Located on the seventh floor of the Federal Foreign Office, the historic rooms of the former Reichsbank building now house the restaurant of the International Club. Among the venue’s most distinctive features are one of Berlin’s last functioning, impressive age-old elevator systems known as Paternoster, providing a thrilling experience for visitors, as well as the spectacular panoramic view over the government district from the rooftop terrace. With its classic interiors, the Club offers a stylish yet welcoming atmosphere for the second part of the scientific exchange and knowledge transfer. This will be accompanied by DJ Krystian Koper, aka Halfsound.
