The symposium "40 Years of Nonlinear Dynamics" will be taking place at two different locations. Please note, that all presentations on Oct 13 and Oct 14 will be given in the Convention Center by the Observatory while the conference dinner on Oct 13 will be taking place at the Historical Observatory. Both buildings are located at Geismar Landstraße 11 in Göttingen. Here you can find details on the directions and locations.
Please note, that registration is required to participate.
