- Tarih: September 28 – October 6, 2008. (Eight full days)
- Amaç: There will be two sessions, one at the basic level directed towards students and the other, more advanced, aiming researchers and graduate students.The actual state of the program is below. Each talk will last 110 minutes with a break of 10 minutes in the middle. The timetable will be available later.If you want to propose a lecture please write to Ali Nesin (anesin@bilgi.edu.tr) Single talks are welcome. Graduate students may expose their ongoing research.
We may arrange a bus from Istanbul to Sirince. Please register early so that we have time to do the necessary arrangements.
For registration write to aslicankorkmaz@nesinvakfi.org, for information anesin@bilgi.edu.tr.
- Ücret: No registration fee. For accomodation and three nefis meals a day: 20 YTL/day for students (or whatever they can afford), 30 YTL/day for assistants and staff, 60 YTL for those who have a research grant. There are some pensions at Sirince as well.
