Security registration on Monday morning will provide you with an ESTEC visitor pass. This visitor pass, which should be worn visibly at all times, will be valid for the duration of the conference but access to ESTEC during the rest of the week requires you to bring this pass plus valid photo identification on every single day. Security checks of bags may take place at any time / at any location. The conference room (Einstein/Newton) and the restaurant are both in security zone 1 and are accessible to participants. Security zone 2 and 3 areas are off limits for registered particpants.
