The Novelis Welcome Reception takes place in the Aula Carolina, Pontstraße 7-9, 52062 Aachen

The Aula Carolina dates back to the 13th century when it had been built as a monastry church. Refurbished in the 17th century, it serves today as a meeting point for ceremonial city events, such as the traditional dinner for high ranking European personalities on the eve of the presentation of the International Charlemagne Prize.
