Funding: An exploratory workshop funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF) and the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Zürich.
Aim: The aim of the meeting is to discuss the grand challenge problems in computational astrophysics, to critically compare existing grid and particle based techniques and to discuss future algorithms for simulating cosmic structures.
Who: This workshop is by invitation only and will bring together many of the leading researchers in computational astrophysics as well as several experts in computational fluid dynamics.
| Where: The workshop will take place at the 4****
hotel Regina in
Wengen high in the Bernese-Oberland. We have
reserved 30 single rooms and will inform the hotel who will be arriving. All participants will stay at the hotel which will provide a full
breakfast, three course lunch and five course evening meal. (Anyone wishing
a double room or to stay longer than Sun-Wed nights should contact us or
call the hotel directly.) Wengen is a car free village. If you are driving, then you must leave your car in the indoor parking at Lauterbrunnen. From there it's a 15 minute train journey up to the village. You can either walk (two minutes) from the station to the hotel or call from the courtesy phone for a porter. |

| Excursion: On Thursday morning we will visit the observatory near the summit of the Jungfrau (weather permitting). This is spectacular train ride up through the center of the Eiger to reach one of world's most incredible research stations. |  |
Travel:
Fly to Zürich or Geneve airports and catch the train to Wengen.
From Zurich airport you can take a direct train to Interlaken and then change at Lauterbrunnen
for the final cog train to Wengen (about 3.5 hours). From Geneve take the train
to Bern and change at Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen.
You can drive to Lauterbrunnen where you
need to leave your car and take the cog train (14 mins).
