Private bed and breakfast for visitors of the ICP 2008 offered by psychology students from Berlin and Potsdam

Stay with real Berliners! As a student or junior researcher coming to Berlin for the ICP 2008, you may be looking for an affordable place to stay. Psychology students from Berlin and Potsdam invite you to share their room or flat and breakfast table during the congress. Some of them can offer a bed, but in most cases you will have to bring your own mat and sleeping bag. To balance their expenses, you should give your hosts three or four Euro per night. The opportunity to get first-hand information about psychology and anything else in Berlin and, with a little luck, to find new friends is, of course, priceless but free of charge. We will do our best to arrange as many private places to sleep as possible. However, we cannot guarantee that everyone can be accommodated this way. To register for a private place to sleep, please follow this link: http://www.psytests.de/kongress2008/e01.php

If you need further information on other low-fee accommodation options or have any questions concerning your stay in Berlin, please do not hesitate to contact us: mail to .
