21st & 22nd February, 2024
Venue: Room HS4, Physics Building, Georg-August-Universität, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen. [Map link]
The programme for the meeting is as below. External invited talks are 45 minutes, those from within the collaboration are 25 minutes. In both cases, this time is inclusive of questions. The coffee and lunch breaks should be used for extensive discussions.
Thanks to the Lufthansa strike, the programme has had to be changed at the last minute to accommodate the delayed arrival of the Edinburgh contingent.
Unfortunately some attendees have not been able to travel this time: talks marked with the 🧑🏾💻 symbol will be presented remotely. Zoom link
Tuesday 20th February
For those arriving in Göttingen on 20th February, we have booked a table at Mazzoni restaurant at 7pm. (Note earlier time than previously advised)
Wednesday 21st February
Room HS4 is on the ground floor and should be signposted from the main entrance to the building.
