Bringing in food and drink other than water, and eating and drinking inside the venues, is not allowed unless otherwise agreed by both parties. Prior approval is required to provide food and drink catering on the premises or nearby. Catering service costs are borne by the user. The official FAQ says water or tea in a bottle may be brought in, and for coffee breaks, book the 2F Reception Hall or a room attached to each venue. The Reception Hall and the Annex Space have a pantry that can be used to prepare catering. (Source: UNU Conference Facilities Guidelines, revised June 2023)
