Location: The school will be held at the Wigner Research Center for Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. It is located on the "KFKI campus", in building no. 3. (see a map of the campus here, more details here). As currently planned, on Thursday the school is held at the Lágymányos Campus of the Eötvös University, in the "Northern Building" (see a map of the campus here, more details here).

Talks: Participants are encouraged to present their recent results in contributed talks. Please register on our website, giving us your name, institute and the talk title, and other logistical details. If your contribution was not discussed with us before, please email us a brief abstract.

Students (BSc, MSc, PhD included) are particularly encouraged to attend the school (and their fee will be waived). Students from COST countries may apply for a full scholarship, covering not just the registration fee, but also all costs (travel, housing, meals). Deadline for this is November 1, and decision will be made shortly after that. Students willing to apply shall note this on the registration form. A support letter (in simple email) from the supervisor is also expected, to the email address of the chair of the conference. Supported students have to be present throughout the whole school. Also note, that a "hands-on" session will be organized, most probably on Wednesday.

Participation fee: 100 EUR or 30000 HUF (including tax), it covers the basic organization costs, the coffee breaks and contributes to the remaining expenses of the school (one participation fee also covers the participation of 1 or 2 students). Participants are kindly asked to transfer the participation fee to the following account (noting their name(s) and mentioning "Zimányi School 2017" as a comment):

Lunches and dinners are not covered by this fee. Participants are suggested to use the Wigner Institute cafeteria (building 23 and 11 on this map). On Thursday, we will be at the Eötvös University. On this day, participants may have lunch in the restaurants or cafeterias around the campus. In particular, we suggest Science Building A.

Conference dinner will be held Tuesday evening in the Bajai Halászcsárda Restaurant, it is included in the participation fee (see a map and instructions on how to reach the restaurant here).

Registration is requested by filling in the registration form on this webpage. Additionally, you are invited to join the event's Facebook page and invite friends and colleagues there.

Housing: We recommend staying in Hotel Mercure Buda, as there is a bus from there to Wigner. We also managed to get a group price of 17,900 HUF for single rooms and 20,400 HUF for double rooms, including breakfast. If you would like to use this opportunity, please fill out the Hotel's form ([pdf], [docx]) and return it to Hotel Mercure Buda to the email address h1688-sb4@accor.com (Ms Bernadett Beke). For students it was previously suitable to stay at the Csilleberc Youth Hostel, but apparently they closed their operations in October 2017 unfortunately. It is also possible to stay in Ibis Budapest City Hotel, they offers a reasonable price in the range of 40-50 EUR. Please notify us during registration if you would like to use any of the above opportunities. Also note, that for the hotel reservation, we need your explicit reservation by mail at least 30 days before the conference. Participants may solve their housing in Budapest on their own, links to Budapest hotels are provided here.

Looking forward to a stimulating and fruitful meeting,
