End of the conference |
Location
The conference takes place in the
Castle of L’Aquila. The massive 16th-century
Spanish castle crowns the city's highest point and is surrounded by the large Parco del Castello (click for
bird’s eye view of the Castle by
Google maps). Maps indicating the way from your hotel to the Castle can be found on the
accomodation-site (last column
Google maps, way to castle). Information about the local weather can be found at the
CETEMPS-website (University of L'Aquila).
The lecture hall is equipped with overhead projector and laptop (Windows) with beamer.
Excursion
During the conference excursion, two small, lovely villages in the
National Park of Gran Sasso are visited -
Castelvecchio Calvisio and
Santo Stefano di Sessanio. The origin of both villages goes back to the Roman Empire. They rose close to the commercial routes between Rome and the Adriatic coast and reached their time of prosperity in the Middle Ages. The appearance at that time could be largely conserved up today.
The busses of the excursion start at 1:45 p.m. at the
Fontana Luminosa near the Castle. The following
maps (Google maps) shows the way from the entrance of the Castle to
Fontana Luminosa.
After the excursion the buses will stop along a loop close to your hotel and will repeat the loop after 45 minutes to collect us and take us to
Casale Signorini, the location of the conference dinner. You will find the details of the bus route in your conference bag.
Posters
All posters can be mounted during the whole conference. The posters are assigned to three different sessions (no flash talks) - on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, respectively. A list of all posters can be downloaded
here (pdf, 0.7MB).
A preferable poster size is A0 in upright format, i.e. height x width: 1.19m x 0.84m (47 in x 33 in). In any case, the poster width should not exceed 1 m. Pinning material will be provided.
Authors of contributions which were accepted as posters of the conference are invited to send full papers before September 17
th (prolonged). Please follow the instructions given under
http://diffusion.uni-leipzig.de/pdf/layout-full-paper-contribution.doc and send your paper to
tomas@uni-leipzig.de. The publication in the special issue of the Online-Journal "
Diffusion Fundamentals" depends on the positive response of the referees.
