The fees are 250 € for scientists at universities and 500 € for industrial participants. Lunch during the three days is included. Please bring your own laptop with you, because we unfortunately have not the possibility to provide you with a rental laptop for everyone.

There will be a possibility to visit the neutron source FRM II, if you are interested in.

Please return the registration form by fax (+49 (0)41 52-87 26 66) or by email.

If you need an accomodation, you will find a list of hotels in the neighbourhood here.
