Facilities

The Lorentz Center offers a number of facilities to workshop organizers and participants. The objective is to provide an informal and comfortable setting that stimulates discussions and collaboration. Further, organizers should be able to concentrate as much as possible on the scientific content of the workshop. All practical organization of a workshop is supported by one of our workshop coordinators.
