Registration and financial support

The registration deadline has passed, and we are no longer capable of providing financial support. Send an email to the organisers at ratstr15 (at) math.uni-hamburg.de if you still want to participate.

Venue

Lectures will be held in the auditorium H6 found in the entry hall of Bundesstrasse 55, University of Hamburg.

Accommodation

We are arranging accomodation at a local hotel for participants. These will be booked at the deadline the 24. July. Please indicate in the registration form that you are applying for funding. We will cover the hotel costs for as many participants as our funding allow. The earlier you register, the more likely it is that we will pay the hotel costs.
Unfortunately we do not have enough funds to cover travel costs, and ask that the participants get this covered from their local institutions or elsewhere.
