The conference will comprise invited talks and two extended poster sessions. "Best Poster Awards" are scheduled for posters highlighting particularly impressively the impact and beauty of interdisciplinarity in diffusion research.
Poster abstract submission will open in February, 2015. Accepted abstracts shall be published, together with short versions of the invited plenary talks, in the conference proceedings appearing as a special volume of the Diffusion-Fundamentals Online Journal.
Venue |
In recent years Dresden has evolved as an internationally recognized center for materials research and technology. The presence of 3 Max-Planck-Institutes, 2 Leibniz-Institutes, 11 Fraunhofer-Institutes, one Helmholtz-Center, and the Technical University with appr. 30,000 students renders the location as a focal point for interdisciplinary cooperation. The Elbe River and the gently rolling landscape between Sächsische Schweiz and Meissen determine the nature in which Dresden is embedded with its architectural attractiveness, natural beauty and charming atmosphere. The climate is equally beneficial to the development of the arts and to viniculture. At the same time Dresden is a modern city with the flair of the former Saxon residence, simply a place with lifestyle. Dresden is famous for its baroque architecture (e.g. the Zwinger, Frauenkirche), its theaters (e.g. Semperoper), museums, festivals and events.
Travel and Accommodation |
The City of Dresden, capitol of Saxony is located in the eastern part of Germany, close to the City of Prague. On account of its airport, Dresden is easily accessible. The German railway network links Dresden with all major German and European destinations. Furthermore, the city possesses ideal connections by road and river, both with its immediate surroundings and with more distant destinations.
Accommodation has to be directly reserved by the participants. A list of suitable hotels will be made available at the conference website. Early booking is highly recommended.
