PROGRAMME


The school is thought as an Introduction to the fascinating field of Hamiltonian Partial Differential Equations, whose knowledge requires tools of both local and global Bifurcation Theory, Variational Methods, Dynamical Systems.

We will have three courses of five lectures each. We also plan to organize Seminars on current research topics by International experts.

CONFERENCE SITE

villa orlandi

INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC CULTURE "VILLA ORLANDI"

The center is located in a 18th century Villa close to Anacapri, in the island of Capri. Restored in the outmost respect of the architectonic quality, this villa is a very pleasant place in which to hold Conferences. 
The villa has a conference room which holds at least 45 persons and  a smaller conference room for 26. Finally there are ten on-line Personal Computers. Coffee Breaks will be held in the garden. For more informations please see the web-page of Villa Orlandi
Here are links where you can find tourist information  on Capri and some beautiful pictures.
 

ACCOMODATION



Participants who do not apply for financial support  should arrange their own Hotel reservations. The web-page of Villa Orlandi contains a list of Hotels in Anacapri which are situated close to Villa Orlandi and offer special rates for Conference Members. Since september is still high season in Capri, we suggest  to reserve well in advance.
