PSF Retreat 2011 Program (PDF)

Social Program

Instead of trying to accommodate a talk for every participant, we have chosen a format with a relatively relaxed program of talks, with long coffee breaks and a lot of time to interact in between sessions. In addition, lots of time to talk informally is available on Monday and Tuesday afternoon.

Monday

The scientific program on Monday ends after the afternoon coffee (16:00). The late afternoon until the dinner (19:00) is left free for the participants to have a chance for discussions with people rarely present all at the same time. This time can be spent freely, we will check possibilities for a small hike in the hills on our side of the river.

Tuesday

The scientific program on Tuesday ends at lunch. After lunch, there will be a possibility to go for a boat trip on the Rhine (details follow).
