     The conferences will take place at the Anogia Academic 
Village, a conference center located at the traditional Cretan 
village of Anogia on the slopes of the mountain Ida. Anogia is 
located at an elevation of 750 m, about 45 minutes by car from 
Heraklion, the largest city of Crete, and about half an hour 
from the closest coast. The living expenses (accommodation plus 
meals) per day for a person are estimated at about 32 Euro in a 
double room or 40 Euro in a single room. The registration fee 
amounts to 250 Euro.

     The Training and Mobility of Researchers Programme 
financially supports young researchers from the countries of the
European Economic Area and Israel, as well as researchers from 
certain countries in Central and Eastern Europe, to enable them 
to attend the conferences. There will be also some limited funds
from other sources available to support participants not 
belonging to the above groups. Support can cover (all or 
certain) travel, living and registration expenses.  For 
information please contact the local co-ordinator of the 
conference series indicated below. 

     The topics of the conferences, which will follow in the 
next years, will be decided by the international scientific 
committee consisting of: H. Abels (Bielefeld, Germany), 
C. Dafermos (Brown University, U.S.A.), J.-P.Kahane 
(Paris-Sud, France), O. Kegel (Freiburg, Germany), 
S. Papadopoulou (Crete, Greece), V. Thomee (Goeteborg, 
Sweden), A. Wilkie (Oxford, United Kingdom).
