The workshop is the closing activity of the Junior Research Group "Special Geometries in Mathematical Physics", which is funded by the VolkswagenStiftung. We shall be able to cover costs for accommodation and full board for approx. half of the participants; refunding of travel costs will also be considered in justified cases, in particular for young researchers (please contact us early enough if you would like to ask for any of these). Normal participation fee (including ALL local costs / no further registration fee) will not exceed 300,- EUR. The number of participants of the workshop is restricted to approx. 70 persons by the number of rooms available. Some participants will be hosted in the adjacent "Hotel zum Stern" at the entrance of the park (Zimmerplatz 4).

Talks will begin on Thursday, September 24, 2009 after lunch and end on Sunday, September 27, 2009 before supper. Participants are invited to arrive on Thursday morning (9/24) and to leave on Sunday late afternoon/evening (9/27). It is possible to have lunch/supper at the castle on the first/last day. For a restricted number of participants (in particular with long journeys), it is possible to stay overnight at the castle before or after official arrival/departure.
