The autumn 2004 workshop of the Dutch-German research group "Mathematics of Random Spatial Models from Physics and Biology" will be hosted by the Erwin Schrödinger Institut, whose hospitality is gratefully acknowledged.
Most of the talks are given by young scientists from the research group. The main lectures are given by Donald Dawson (Ottawa), Alison Etheridge (Oxford) and Frank den Hollander (EURANDOM, Eindhoven). The talks will be given in the ESI Lecture Hall, Boltzmanngasse 9, 2nd floor.
