PH.D. STUDENTS :
We encourage all Ph.D. students to participate in the workshop.
It is one of the ideas of the Graduate School to bring together Ph.D.
students, working in Nonlinear Science.
GRANTS :
A number of grants are available upon request for supporting the
participation of Ph.D. students.
LUNCH :
Lunch will be provided for invited speakers, and for the students
who receive a travel grant.
DINNER :
There will be an informal workshop dinner Thursday the 25/10.
The dinner will be free for all invited speakers, whereas a
small fee will be charged to other participants who wish to
attend.
REGISTRATION :
All participants must register by email to Ole Bang before
the deadline October 1.
There is no registration fee,
