Event information

Description

This seminars aims at bringing researchers in optimal control and numerical mathematics together for a week of recent research results, collaboration and – most importantly – ample time for in depth discussions. Additionally, snowboarding as well as cross-country and alpine skiing is available (or can be learned on site).

Organization

The seminar has previously been organized by Roland Herzog’s numerical mathematics group at the TU Chemnitz and has now been moved to Heidelberg’s Scientific Computing and Optimization group.

Location and housing

The seminar will again take place at Hotel Gürtl" (" Hotel on google maps) in Haus im Ennstal, Austria. There are several rooming options available and this year’s pricing is as follows:

  • 119 € per night and person in a double room including breakfast and dinner,
  • 21,50 € surcharge per night for single rooms,
  • 3,50 € surcharge per night for “comfort” double rooms (new category, up to availability),
  • 12,50 € seminar attendancy fee per day and person (max of 5 days) and
  • 2,50 € per night local overnight tax.
