Dear list members,

I would like to forward you some information about a meeting that 
will be held in Leiden, Netherlands between the dates 26 February – 
2 March 2007.

Workshop is titled “Computational and Mathematical Approaches to Societal 
Transitions” and organized by a team from DRIFT Institute, Rotterdam.

Main goal is to discuss different modeling approaches used especially in
complex social systems, as far as I am informed.

You may find the information taken from the invitation letter below. 

Please do not hesitate to pass this mail to any colleague of yours who may be 
interested.

Best regards,

Gonenc

Computational and Mathematical Approaches to Societal Transitions 


26 February – 2 March 2007

This workshop will take place at the Lorentz Center, an international visitors’ 
center of Leiden University. Lorentz Center workshops focus on new 
collaborations and interactions between scientists from different countries and 
fields, and with varying seniority. This workshop will be interdisciplinary 
between sciences and the social sciences. The aim of the workshop is to bring 
together researchers in an atmosphere that fosters discussions and interactions. 
The number of talks will be limited.  

During their stay here, all participants will have the use of a desk and a 
computer account in one of the 20 offices at the Lorentz Center. All offices 
are equipped with a whiteboard, desks and a PC running Linux as well as Windows 
and with access to the Internet. In addition, each office has a connection for 
a laptop to the Internet. The Center has several lecture rooms, a meeting room 
and an informal ‘common room’ for having a cup of coffee or tea, for discussing, 
chatting or reading. 

Science libraries, cafeteria, photocopiers and other such facilities are nearby, 
as the center is fully integrated within the buildings of Leiden University. 
For more information, please, visit our website: www.lc.leidenuniv.nl  

We will offer you free coffee and tea during the workshop, a wine and cheese 
party and a free workshop dinner during the week. 

If you need some funding of your hotel costs, please send a request for 
reimbursement to the organizers. 

My name is Yolande van der Deijl and I am the program assistant for this 
workshop. I will be happy to reserve a hotel room for you once you have registered 
using the form on http://www.lorentzcenter.nl/lc/web/2007/246/info.php3?wsid=246 

If your colleagues might be interested in this workshop, please inform them also 
about this announcement.  

The Lorentz Center has bicycles for hire at € 5 per day.
