Message of the Coordinator

With the opening of the new academic year, I would like to welcome all the new PhD students and Post-Docs who just start to work within our network. At the same time I want to express my sincere hope that we will be able to extend this nice network for another 5 years to come. As you probably know, we have passed the first round of selection of proposed IAP networks, and we are working hard to finalize the full proposal in the weeks to come. So let me hope that DYSCO will survive this last selection so that our newcomers can enjoy the fantastic environment of the DYSCO network.

Let me also draw your attention - and especially that of the newcomers - to the upcoming course of our graduate school, which will be given by Patrick De Leenheer (University of Florida, Gainesville) and Eric Bullinger (Université de Liège). You can register directly via the link in this newsletter.
