INFO AND PRESS COUNTERS
The hub of the festival activity is located at Museum Wiesbaden, at Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 2. Members of the competent goEast team can be found at the info counter there, from mornings to evenings, to help with any questions regarding the programme, the city or lodging. In addition, festival passes and goEast publications are available here as well.
The Festival Centre is also the first point of contact for both international and accredited industry guests, while the press counter serves the same purpose for journalists.

Publications
In 2021, goEast began to make the catalogues and Symposium essays from past festival editions available for free online. The CEEOL GmbH, the operator of the Central and Eastern European Online Library, based in Frankfurt, has been supporting the festival in these efforts.
CEEOL provides both institutional and individual access to periodicals, eBooks and grey literature in the area of the social sciences and humanities from Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, making the data bank a trusted partner for years for academics, students and teachers specialising in Eastern European subject matter. The goEast catalogue texts from the festival years 2001-2021 have now been incorporated here and can be read in their entirety at www.ceeol.com.
