- Potsdam / Zürich
is pleased to announce its first
Spring School
from Monday, March 5, 2007 to Friday, March 9, 2007.
It is designed for PhD students, postdocs and practitioners with knowledge of Probability Theory. The aim of the lectures is to lead the participants from their current level to the forefront of research. There will also be ample time for discussion.
In addition,there will be different thematic sessions, organized by a Chairman, in which short talks are given by some postdocs and PhD students.
The Spring School will receive financial support from the Graduate Programme funded by the German Research Council (DFG) and the Swiss National Science Foundation in Switzerland.
It will take place at the University of Potsdam, Am Neuen Palais, Building 8 Room 0.58
Invited Lecturers
Paolo DAI PRA (University of Padova, Italy) and Chris ROGERS (University of Cambridge, GB)
The lectures will treat the following subjects:
● P. Dai Pra : Functional inequalities for Markov chains and applications (notes)
● Ch. Rogers : Optimal Investment (notes)
Each day there will be two lectures of 1.5 hours and one thematic session.

Practical information
Location
of the Workshop
Potsdam is the capital of the State
Brandenburg in Germany, at 25 km from Berlin. The Mathematical
Institute of the University is located in the campus ‘Neues
Palais’ which is in the park of the castle (map
here).
How to
reach the University?
· From Berlin Zoologischer Garten Station, take the RE 1 (regional train) in the direction Brandenburg (25 minutes) until the small railway station ‘Potsdam, Park Sans Souci’. The Neues Palais campus is at 10 minutes walking distance. The Mathematics building, House 8, is the first building on the left (see this Map).
· From the Hotel “Ostdeutsche Sparkassenakademie”, take the Bus 695 from the bus stop “Potsdam-Pirschheide station” to the stop “Neues Palais”. For the bus, you only need to buy a short-distance ticket “Kurzstreckentarif” (=1,40 Euros) and to validate it inside the bus.
Hotel
For each participant we booked a room from Monday till Friday in der Ostdeutsche Sparkassenakademie, a Hotel in Potsdam at the Templiner lake .

How to reach the Hotel?
... from the Railway Station Potsdam Hauptbahnhof (Potsdam main station) , take
* either the Regionalbahn (regional train) in the direction of Berlin-Schönefeld and ride to the station Potsdam-Pirschheide (travel time 6 min; train runs roughly once an hour)
* or Bus 695 to Potsdam-Pirschheide (travel time 25 min; bus runs every 20 minutes). To reach the bus stop, go up the stairs, and then exit the station following the signs for the Friedrich-Engels-Str. You will see several bus lanes upon exiting the station. When you reach Potsdam-Pirschheide, walk toward the tram stop in front of the station. Cross the tracks and enter the grounds of the Sparkassenakademie; the main entrance is at the end of the path.
... from Berlin, take the suburban train (S-Bahn) S7 in the direction Potsdam (35 minutes) or the Regional Express train (RE1) in the direction Brandenburg or Magdeburg (20 minutes). Then proceed as describe above.
Guests arriving by air in Tegel should take Bus X9 (express) or Bus 109 from the airport to Berlin Zoologischer Garten Station, then the S-Bahn, as above. Guests arriving by air in Schönefeld may take the direct hourly regional train to Potsdam Hauptbahnhof or may proceed on the S-Bahn to Zoo Station.
