Operator algebras, dynamics and groups - an ICM satellite conference

Reception Friday July 1. Around 6 pm (after the lectures) we host a wine, beer and (light) food reception at the university for all conference participants.

Banquet Sunday july 3. The conference banquet will be held in parallel sessions! The main event is held at the Carlsberg Academy which very recently has been renovated. The banquet starts at 5 pm with beer (from Carlsberg!) and snacks and a stroll in the garden or in the Carlsberg Academy building, followed by a dinner in "Palmehaven".

The physical layout of the Carlsberg Academy sets a limit for the number of guests, so attendance to this event is limited by seniority to postdocs and up. Participants (who have preregistered, and as space allows, also those who register after preregistration has closed) and spouses are invited. (Due to the limited space, we may not be able to invite family members of participants beyond spouses.)

The younger participants (meaning PhD students and Master's students) are invited to dinner and beers in town guided by our local PhD students.

The conference has prebooked several rooms at four different hotels. Most of these rooms are already reserved during preregistration, but you can inquire into possible available rooms by writing to Shabnam at shabnam@math.ku.dk.

Availability of hotel rooms during the conference may be tight due to the "Tour de France"  (see the menu about the bicycle race below). With this in mind, here is some information for making your own hotel booking: We recommend Hotel 9 Små Hjem, which is pleasant and inexpensive and offers rooms with a kitchen. Other inexpensive alternatives are CabInn, which has several locations in Copenhagen: the Hotel City (close to Tivoli), Hotel Scandinavia (Frederiksberg, close to the lakes), and Hotel Express (Frederiksberg) are the most convenient locations; the latter two are 2.5-3 km from the math department. Somewhat more expensive – and still recommended – options are Hotel Nora and Ibsen's Hotel.

An additional option is to combine a stay at the CabInn Metro Hotel with a pass for Copenhagen public transportation (efficient and reliable). See information about tickets & prices.

Thanks to a grant from the Carlsberg Foundation, there are (limited) funds available to support PhD students and postdocs who wish to attend the conference. Application for support will be integrated in the registration form.

Deadline to apply for support has passed.

It so happens that Tour de France for the first time in its history will visit Denmark in 2022, see HERE for more information.

The first leg of the famous bicycle race version 2022 will take place in Copenhagen on July 1 (the same day as our conference starts) with a 13 km time trial. The following two legs will also take place in Denmark, but not in Copenhagen. You can find the route of the time trial HERE. It passes fairly close to the math department, which is located in the white triangle in the upper part of the map next to where it says "Niels Bohr Bygningen".

Besides offering a unique spectacle, the race will affect the conference in some other ways: Traffic including public transportation will be hugely affected - more information about how to get around that day will be posted when we get close to the conference. Hotels will be more difficult to book (we have made a number of block bookings in different hotels, see the accommodations information above), and even travel could be affected, so don't wait to the last moment buying your ticket to Copenhagen.
