About


Compact computational representations of phenomena that involve significant transport, convection, or propagation delays can create vexing tradeoffs that defy acceptable balance between fidelity and complexity.

Perspectives offered by an international group of experts from a range of disciplines offered an opportunity for an exchange of information, accumulated intuition, and experience in the development of effective, compact models for convective phenomena.

Location


The Einstein Hall

Jägerstraße 22/23, 10117 Berlin

The Einstein Hall is on the 5th floor of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, accessible by lift or paternoster (!),or for those sufficiently fit, also by stairs. It is a large (250 square meters) wood-paneled room with double-sided rows of windows and indirect, recessed ceiling lighting. A roof terrace is immediately accessible for lunch and coffee breaks, offering an impressive view of the center of Berlin.

The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities

The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, has had many names since its inception and carries on the tradition of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. Seventy eight Nobel laureates have shaped the Academy’s history, going back to the Society of Sciences of the Elector of Brandenburg (Kurfürstlich Brandenburgische Sozietät der Wissenschaften).

It was founded in 1700 by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 – 1716) under Elector Frederick III of Brandenburg. From the start, this institution united natural sciences and humanities under one roof, making it a prototype for many academies that followed. It was reconstituted into its present form in 1992 by an interstate agreement between Berlin and Brandenburg.

The Academy building faces the memorable Gendarmenmarkt and was constructed originally as the seat of the Prussian Maritime Trading Company in 1902/03, later becoming the Prussian State Bank. The historical banking hall and adjacent premises were remodelled into a conference centre to celebrate the Academy’s 300th anniversary.
