Dresden, the capital of the "Freistaat Sachsen", one of the states of the Federal Republic of Germany, is one of the most beautiful cities of Germany. Dresden has been destroyed almost completely at the end of World War II. Extensive rebuilding projects are still going on to recover the beauty of the "old times" when Dresden was built under the rule of the Kings of Saxony.

The hotel is located on the river Elbe, close to the point where one of the most famous views of Dresden has been painted by Canaletto in 1748.
Rooms have been reserved at the Hotel Bellevue, where the GA takes place, at DM 222.00 per night for single rooms and DM 249.00 for double rooms.
In addition, the organizers will also offer hotels with lower room rates. The procedures for room reservation will be announced with the invitation letters to the General Assembly. Travel hints will also be provided.
The schedule of the GA is roughly as follows:
The agenda will be dispatched by the IMU Executive Committee to the Adhering Organizations three months before the meeting. The procedure regarding proposals for the agenda is laid down in the By-Laws of IMU, paragraphs 2 and 3.
The transfer from Dresden to Berlin is planned for Monday, August 17. The fastest connection is by train, departing from Dresden every hour (the trip takes about 2 hours). The organizers will offer a coach tour from Dresden to Berlin to all delegates of the General Assembly. The coach will stop at several places of touristic interest. It is planned to visit the city of Meissen with its famous Porzellan Manufaktur, known for its Dresden china.
