ASPEKT 2016 in Berlin

Post by Rainer Borchmann »

Invitation
==========
The VdS Section SPECTROSCOPY will hold its annual
Spectroscopy Conference April 29 to May 1, 2016 at the weekend in Berlin.
We invite all astronomers interested in spectroscopy, especially beginners and young colleagues,
to this meeting. A VdS membership is not necessary. With presentations and a session of posters
and equipment we discuss open questions and problems.

Berlin
The conference takes place in Berlin-Adlershof, the Scientific Location in the capital of Germany.
Ten non-university research facilities, six scientific institutes of the Humboldt University, around
1,000 companies and a rich history are located here. Numerous astronomically orientated public
and research institutions in the city and Potsdam can be reached from there.
The meeting place, the hotel "Dorint Adlershof", is right in this area in the South-East of Berlin
close to the motorway (Rudower Chaussee 15, 12489 Berlin-Adlershof, http://hotel-berlin-adlershof.dorint.com/en/)
Here we find the best opportunities for our meeting: a large lecture hall, accommodation and good
food (details and prices, see below).

Transportation connection
We have chosen Berlin to make a comfortable journey possible, this time especially for our guests from northern
and central Germany and neighboring countries. Berlin-Adlershof is easily accessible by car (Highway A113),
by trains or by plane via the airports Tegel and Schönefeld. From Berlin’s main train station you can use public transport.

Funding
Students and pupils may apply for discreet support from our Youth Fund.

Conference programme
The conference starts on Friday evening with a dinner. Afterwards, you have the opportunity to meet old friends or get
acquainted with other participants, to talk and relax in a casual atmosphere with a glass of beer or good local wine.
On Saturday and Sunday morning interesting lectures, posters and devices are presented. The conference is held in German
and English. The conference ends after lunch on Sunday.
Further information about the programme and registration you can find on our conference website http://www.spektralklasse.de,
which will be updated regularly.

astronomical research in Potsdam on Monday after the conference. Therefore we must know who is interested in this event.
