Panum Building
Blegdamsvej 3B
DK-2200 Copenhagen

The ESSSB-19 will be held in the Panum and the Maersk Tower, which house the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences of Copenhagen University. The Maersk Tower is an architectural beauty following the Nordic design tradition of having open and wood-filled spaces. The building was opened in 2017 and has received numerous international awards. It was designed by the world-renowned architect company, C.F. Møller Architects. The architects made extra efforts to design the building as a venue, which encourages people to come together as a means of promoting communication, hopefully leading its users to knowledge sharing and inspiration for new and ground-breaking research. A fun fact is that the parking lots in the basement exclusively accommodates 950 bicycles, while another 1400 parking spaces for bicycles are found outside. As you are likely to notice during your stay, Danes take biking very seriously.
