Contributed Talks and Posters
Besides the focus session with invited talks, there will be time slots with two parallel sessions of contributed talks. Based on a reviewing of extended abstracts (two pages) about 40 contributions will be selected for 15 minuts oral presentation.
Posters will be on display during the whole conference, in addition to special poster sessions. Following an old tradition of Dynamics Days there will be awards given for the best poster presentations.
Poster sizes: ideally DIN A0 portrait format (0.88m x 1.19m)
(Wall size is 2.00m (width) x 1.35m (height), for 2 posters)
Pins will be provided.
After pre-registration you will be provided with a LaTeX-template that should be used for the submission of abstracts for posters and talks.
Venue
Location
The Registration Desk is at the Mathematics Institute, Bunsenstr. 3-5.
Registration is possible on Sunday, 30 Aug, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and during the conference from 8 p.m.
Plenary sessions will take place in the Audi Max in the main building of the Mathematics Institute, Bunsenstr. 3-5 across the street from the campus of the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The site is located within 5 minutes walking distance from the historical centre of Göttingen.
The Hilbert Hall is another lecture hall for the contributed talks located in the Mathematics Institute. The MPI Lecture Hall, and the DLR Hangar are on the DLR/MPI grounds.

DLR provides WLAN at the DLR Hangar (bring your notebook!). In addition, there will be a computer pool on the DLR/MPI grounds in Building 2.
Directions: The main entry points for international attendees are the Frankfurt/Main, Hamburg, and Berlin airports. The closest airport to Göttingen is in Hannover at a distance of approximately 100 km. The most convenient way to reach Göttingen from one of the airports is by train. Train schedules are available at www.bahn.de.
To reach the conference facilities from the Göttingen railway station you can take a taxi (5 minutes), the bus number 4 (from terminal D to Walkemühlenweg), or walk (10-20 minutes). Use the main exit (city exit) to leave the station and walk to the right. Follow the main street, Berliner Straße. After the traffic lights continue onto Bürgerstraße. Keep walking for about 600m until you arrive at the Bunsenstraße. The Mathematics Institute is right at the corner.
For more information about Göttingen please have a look at the City of Göttingen website, or the Guide to Göttingen provided by the University. The latter mainly a city guide written for the benefit of foreign students and academic staff, but it also contains a lot of useful information about daily life.

Registration
Financial Support
There will be limited funds available to support scientists from less-favoured regions in Europe and young researchers. German students, who are members of the German Physical Society are eligible for support by the Heraeus foundation.
Please send an email to (redacted) to apply for reduced fees, and grants for travel and local expenses. The applications will be reviewed together with the contributions to the conference, such that promises for financial support can be sent out in May together with the notification of the acceptance of contributed talks and posters.
