Registration Fees

There is no registration fee for this workshop, and no registration deadline. We intend to organise a social dinner, a small fee may be required for this, pending funding.

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.

Venue

The conference will take place in the Snellius building of the Lorentz Center.
Free coffee, tea and cookies are available in the meeting rooms. Lunch will be served in the canteen, but comes at your own expense.

Conference dinner

A social dinner is being planned in the city center of Leiden.

You are asked to make your own booking with them. Please note that rooms are subject to availability, cancelation is free up to 24 hours before arrival.
Conference rates: €82 per night for single occupancy, €48,50 per night for double occupancy, both including breakfast.

Route from the hotel to Lorentz Center:

From Hotel Van der Valk Leiden it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the Lorentz Center. From the hotel you cross the bridge and walk straight ahead. You will cross the busy Plesmanlaan at the traffic lights, and carry on along the Ehrenfestweg (bus lane/cycle path). Turn left into the Einsteinweg passing the disk-shaped building there, after which you turn right into the Niels Bohrweg. From that point you will be able to see the characteristic slanted Oort building on the right hand side of the street and the Snellius building on the left hand side. (see map).
