The school & symposium will cover introductory tutorials in the morning, invited & contributed scientific talks in the late afternoon, topical highlight lectures in the evening, and a continuous poster session.

A half day break is foreseen for recreation, e.g. through Winter Activities (skiing, snowboarding, etc.)

Graduate students and young scientists just starting to work in this field are particularly encouraged to register and to submit an abstract.

The school venue, the JUFA Bad Aussee in Styria, is located close to the winter resort Loser in the "Salzkammergut", which is quite the center of Austria's Alps. Thus excellent possibilities for downhill or cross-country skiing, snow-boarding and alpine ski-touring are nearby, but also the Salt-Water-Spa Narzissen Vital Resort Bad Aussee. (You can also just enjoy the snowy winter or explore a salt mine!)
