Organisation of the Crash-Course

  • Whereabouts: The lectures will take place in the seminar room of the Institute Charles Sadron (6, Rue Boussingault, Strasbourg) which is close to the Orangerie and the European Parliament.
  • Timing: The course starts on Monday 21/02/2005 at 14:15 and ends on Wednesday 23/01/2005 at 18:00. Each lecture lasts about an hour followed by an half hour break for questions and discussions.
  • Registration: The participation is free of charge and open to everyone interested. The total number of participants is limited to 25 persons. Students are encourged to participate. No money is available for travel and other expenditure. Handouts are distributed to registered participants. Only an email is required for registration containing the participant's address and affiliation. The registration deadline is 14/02/2005.
  • Lectures: Eight lectures will be presented by four speakers from the Institute Charles Sadron. The first talk by Prof. J. Baschnagel is a general overview on computational physics methods for condensed matter applications. A brief recap on polymers and polymers physics will be given on Tuesday.

    Talks will only be given in French if all participants will be able to follow. Otherwise they will be in English. Questions may be asked in French in any case.

  • Additional material provided: The given Literature is deliberately concise. Most of the topics covered in the lectures are described in more detail in the recent review [BWM04] which also contains an extensive list of appropriate references. A short History of Polymer Science and of some of its Heros is provided in order to give a brief introduction to the achievements and the future challenges of polymers science in general. The list of Notations, Symbols and Definitions and the Glossary may be helpful in case of language problems.

  • Accomodation: A useful web site for accomodation is http://www.strasbourg.com/hotels. We recommend l'Hotel de l'Esplanade (T: ++33(0)3 88 61 38 95, F: ++33(0)3 88 60 66 87) which is in convenient distance to the ICS. The organisation of accomodation is left to the participants.
  • Helpline: All technical inquiries should be directed to J.P. Wittmer (T: ++33 (0)388414055).
