In October 2003, 22 young researchers
from the SFB 618 met in Lebus in the scenic Oderbruch near Frankfurt
for a three-day symposium. The audience consisted mainly of diploma and
doctoral students from (nearly) all projects within the SFB who came
together to exchange ideas and discuss science in the absence of their
academic supervisors. This informal atmosphere provided the medium for
intense discussions of current research, preceded by short
presentations by the participants on the newest results of their
scientific investigations. Two evening lectures and an excursion into
nature along the river Oder rounded off the program. Workshop
organizers were Armin Weiser, Martin Stemmler, Oliver Ebenhoeh, and Tim
Gollisch. The workshop's program can be found below.
