Under the Spell of Physics

Vlieland, one of the Dutch West Frisian Islands, is of outstanding natural beauty and its beaches belong to the best the Netherlands has to offer. The beach location of the conference hotel and the special Gala Dinner on Saturday night will doubtless stimulate and facilitate the exchange of old and new arguments.
Gerard's wide-ranging interests will be reflected in a high-powered scientific program, with many distinguished speakers, and around 130 invited participants from all over the world.
