Bad Honnef 2007

From DFG-SPP 1253

Annual meeting of SPP1253 2007

The main purpose of the annual meeting was to give all participating projects the possibility of presenting their achievements as well as encountered problems and future goals.

Each of the 25 projects in the priority program had a 20 minute time slot. Please refer to the schedule which you can find on the bottom of the page for more detailed information.

Apart from the project reports there was also time for discussions about organizational issues like the homepage, the guest program and the financial situation.

The meeting was located in the Physikzentrum in Bad Honnef. Bad Honnef is located approximately 20 kilometers south-east of Bonn.
