We are delighted that you are coming to the German Sociological Association Congress in Mainz and would like to help ensure that your visit is as enjoyable and accessible as possible. Reducing social barriers is an ongoing process, and our efforts to make the congress accessible should therefore always be seen as a work in progress as well.

Nevertheless, we would like to communicate as early as possible which barriers we are addressing, to facilitate early preparation for your visit to the congress. This page is intended to serve that purpose: as a living document that will continue to grow. We will endeavour to keep you updated here about where we have already been able to provide easier access. 

We are convinced that everyone benefits from an accessible concept, enabling us all to enjoy a better conference. That is why we wish to give this issue special priority here in Mainz and to consider it as fundamentally as possible.
