The iDiv Conference 2025 will take place at Martin Luther University Halle Wittenberg (MLU), one of Germany’s oldest and most renowned universities. The venue for the event is the Audimax, the university’s largest lecture hall, located in the heart of Halle (Saale). For the conference, we have reserved the entire Audimax building, including Lecture Hall XXII, Lecture Hall XXIII, and the Audimax itself. You can’t miss it – these are the only lecture halls in the building.
