There is no formal registration, but please send an email to Frau Fernholz so that we can estimate the number of participants.
Please also indicate whether you want to join us for dinner on November 11, in the restaurant Livingroom, Luisenstraße 9 (in walking distance from the main station). We will meet there at 7 pm (so you have time to stop at your hotel on the way).
Hotels:
Ibis City und Ibis Zentrum - good and good price but nothing special - Ibis Zentrum is probably a bit more quiet
Oekey - good and good price - between university and station on the U35 line
Art Hotel Tucholsky in the "Bermuda triangle", that is, can be noisy, art hotel with funny accessoires - great breakfast
We have reserved a number of rooms at these hotels for the participants at a reduced rate. (Valid until October 11.) If you wish to book one of those, please contact directly the hotel, key word "Topology".
Here is a list of previous NRW-Topology meetings.
Organizers: Gerd Laures, Martin Olbermann
