We kindly ask all participants to fill in the online application form as soon as possible.

We are happy to enclose the lists of the invited lecturers for this year's seminar:

There are fellowships available for junior scientists covering the hotel and part of the local expenses. Our financial resources make it necessary to limit the number of supported participants who will be selected among the applicants. Applications for fellowships should be submitted before August 30, 2009. Please arrange for one letter of recommendation to be emailed before August 30, 2009 to vienna.theor-physik@univie.ac.at . You will be notified by mid of September.

We invite applications for a limited number of talks from researchers working in areas related to the focus of the seminar. Junior participants, including advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty, will be given priority. Applications should be submitted before August 30, 2009. You will be notified by mid of September.

Accommodation will be provided in nearby pensions and hotels, please let us know your wishes well in advance! If you are applying for accommodation later than by Oct. 11, 2009 we kindly ask you to directly address yourself to the Vienna Tourist Information http://wien.info/wtv/book-e.html .

In addition to the seminars we cordially invite you to attend the poster and discussion sessions on Friday and Saturday afternoon; there will be a Public Lecture on Friday evening and a Conference Reception on Saturday evening. The detailed program will be communicated in one of the next announcements.
