19th International Reinhardsbrunn Symposium
Modern Fungicides and Antifungal Compounds
7. April - 11. April 2019
Friedrichroda - Germany

The Reinhardsbrunn-Symposium
For over 50 years the name "Reinhardsbrunn" has become famous in scientific circles for the Symposium series which draws together fungicide scientists from academia, research institutes and industry to present, listen to and discuss the latest research findings from around the world in this fast moving field.
Such research is a vital component in the quest to provide adequate control of the fungi that threaten the world's food supply and commodity products. Only by discovering new active molecules by synthetic chemistry or from natural sources and by understanding how they work and how best to use them in geographically different locations, can we hope to maintain and improve the quality of life for the world's growing population.
The 2019 Symposium will build upon the Reinhardsbrunn reputation by providing an opportunity for established experts and those just starting on their scientific career to present information to an international audience through oral presentations and posters. In addition, outstanding experts as key note speakers will introduce into the symposium and the single topical sessions. There will be ample time to discuss the findings and their implications both during and after the presentations. The Symposium thus also provides a unique opportunity to establish new contacts and friendships within fungicide science.
It is the intention of the Symposium Committee to arrange a well balanced program with participants and perspectives from around the globe, and sufficient time for discussion.
We look forward to welcome you as an active participant at the symposium!
The official language of the symposium is English.
Project No. DE 403/23-1

The Symposium will be held at the H+-Hotel (former Ramada), Thüringer Wald in Friedrichroda, Germany. The Hotel offers a special accommodation package on a first-come, first-served base at a special price (see "Fees") which includes breakfast and room.
Reservations have to be made with the hotel directly - ask for the special package price "Reinhardsbrunn Symposium", which includes breakfast and room: hplus.friedrichrodah-hotelscom. The accommodation must be paid directly to the hotel.
In case the H+ Hotel is fully booked, nearby Ahorn Berghotel Friedrichroda (5 minutes walking distance) is an alternative.
How to get to Friedrichroda:
By plane to Frankfurt/Main, Berlin or Erfurt.
From there by train to Gotha (Thuringia), which is situated on the railway line Berlin - Frankfurt (check with: www.bahn.de; English version: www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml.)
In Gotha take a taxi : costs from the station Gotha to the hotel will be approximately € 30,-. Adventurous participants take the local tram in Gotha (Thüringer Waldbahn) to the station "Bahnhof Reinhardsbrunn". The Hotel is within 500 m walking distance up the hill.
By car from Frankfurt/Main: take the Autobahn (Expressway) A5 -> A4 to Eisenach and Erfurt, branch off at Waltershausen. Then follow the signs to Friedrichroda.
Passport and Visa
Members of the European Union need a valid identity card or passport. Participants from all other countries should check with their travel agency or directly with the German Embassy in their home country for visa regulations.
Letter of invitation
The Organising Committee will send out a letter of invitation, if requested, for participants having an accepted contribution. It is understood that such an invitation is intended to help potential attendees to raise travel funds or obtain a visa. The organisers can not provide financial support. Please contact the Symposium Bureau.

Symposium Excursion to Merkers Adventure Mines (limited number of participants)
March 27, 2019: Sorry, completely booked out.
For Tuesday afternoon (April 9, 2019) an excursion has been organized that will take us to the city of Merkers-Kieselbach. We will be taken on a 2,5 hours guided underground tour in Merkers Adventure Mines, a former potash mine turned into a tourist attraction. Merkers Mines have developed into a major tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world. Every year, approximately 80,000 guests are treated to a fascinating underground tour, during which they learn at first hand the whole history of potash mining in the region. Highlights of the tour include the stunning crystal grotto, the historical gold room, the "world's deepest concert hall", a unique underground bucket-wheel excavator, and a simulated blasting a couple of hundred meters below the surface. (Link to German Page)
Afterwards we will enjoy the conference dinner with a Thuringian specialties buffet at the Kurhaus am Burgsee in Bad Salzungen.
Excursion fee including dinner: € 80,00
Evening Welcome Reception April 07, 2019
