THE CONFERENCE || April 21 - 23, 2006
This three-day conference will focus on Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) with the intention of bringing together these two communites. The conference is dedicated to Karlheinz Schwarz (DFT) and Bernard Jouffrey (TEM) on the occasion of their respective birthdays, which we will celebrate at the conference dinner. The conference will follow two days of separate workshops for the two fields.
The workshops and the conference will be held at the Vienna University of Technology, conveniently located in the city center.

SOCIAL PROGRAM
Conference Dinner
The conference dinner will take place on Saturday 22nd April on
Greifenstein
Castle featuring a knight's dinner moderated by
Max de Vime.
Transportation will be organised directly from the conference site.
Strauss City Walk (optional)
Strauss City Walk (optional)
On Sunday right after the conference ends, you have the rare opportunity to
join a city walk guided by Eduard Strauss, descendant of the Strauss
Family, showing you places in the city center related to the history of the
Strauss Dynasty. While walking from site to site, you will be presented
with music from his family and comments from the family member himself.
Price: € 20,-
Duration: approx. 2 hours
If you are interested in this Strauss City Walk please send your interest to the conference office, as there is only a limited number of participants possible!!!!
