Some pictures of the workshop

Themes and Scope

The focus of the workshop will be on current state-of-the-art work in applied dynamical systems and the participants will present on work in progress, rather than on finished work. These presentations can potentially be group presentations and time slots are organized as follows, 40 minutes presentation followed by 20 minutes discussion, 20 minutes presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion, or 10 minutes presentation followed by 5 minutes discussion.

Location

The workshop will be held at the Gardens Point Campus of Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane.

Transport

Flights:

There are daily direct flight from Tokyo to Brisbane's international airport, and of course also from all major cities in Australia.

Local transport:

From the airport, there is a train into Brisbane that departs every 15 minutes (during peak hours) and runs between 5am - 10pm during weekdays and between 6am - 10pm in the weekend. The station closest to the GP campus of QUT is central station. Return tickets (around $32AUD) can be bought online on https://www.airtrain.com.au.

From Central Station it is approximately 20 minutes walk to the campus.

Taxi:

Alternatively, you can take a taxi from the airport to the campus (or to your hotel). Remember to tell the driver that you need to go to the Gardens Point Campus of QUT (QUT has two campuses). Note that the costs of a taxi from the airport to the city is around $60AUD.
