7th Elgersburg School (March 1 - 7, 2015)
Topics
The school is on two topics of current interest in the field of systems and control theory and its applications. Each topic is presented by a leading expert in the field. In addition to the lectures there will be example classes. Participants will attend both courses.
Who can attend?
The school is open to international PhD and advanced undergraduate students from engineering sciences or mathematics. A background in systems and control theory or related fields will be required.
Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships will be available. These scholarships will in general cover the full travel and lodging expenses. Because of the restricted number of such scholarships, we ask that students preferentially use funds available at their home institutions.
Participants will attend both courses.
Arrival: Sunday, March 1, 2015
Departure: Saturday, March 7, 2015
Deadline for applications: December 1, 2014
Please make sure that Achim Ilchmann receives a short letter of recommondation
by email from your supervisor.
Accomodation
The workshop takes place in the Hotel "Am Wald" in Elgersburg (Thuringia).
The cost for the hotel including full board (evening March 1 - 7, 2015) is EUR 510,- for a single room and EUR 410,- for a double room per person.
The costs will be covered for participants receiving scholarships.
More detailed information about the hotel and about Elgersburg can be found at the following web pages:

Registration
In addition, an e-mail of your supervisor is required including
- Recommendation of the candidate for the summer school.
- Declaration whether the candidate needs financial support.
- A statement whether the candidate would be able to come if no financial support can be provided.
Please send this e-mail to Achim Ilchmann
Confirmation notice
The number of participants is strictly limited to 40 due to the size of the workshop hotel. If more than 40 registrations are received, the organizers will rank registrations according to expertise in systems and control and invite the first 40 of this list. Confirmation notices will be sent out before ...
Travel
At Elgerburg train station there will be a shuttle to the hotel available from 5 pm until 10.30 pm on Sunday. If you arrive later or earlier, then please give the hotel a ring: +49 - 3677 - 79800.
Elgersburg can be reached via local trains from Erfurt, which is connected to the German high speed train network.
Trains from Erfurt to Elgersburg (destination Ilmenau) run every hour.
The nearest airport is Leipzig, which has few international connections.
From the major airports in Frankfurt and Berlin, Erfurt can be reached by train in 2-3 hours.
Frankfurt has the advantage, that there are direct trains between the airport and Erfurt.
