We cordially invite you to participate in the 4th CRITICS Workshop and Winter School on “Critical Transitions in Complex Systems: Mathematical theory and applications” to be held in Wöltingerode, Germany, March 5-16, 2018.
This event is part of the activities of the ITN network CRITICS “Critical Transitions in Complex Systems” ( http://www.criticsitn.eu) bringing together scientists in mathematics and applications on progressing the understanding of critical transitions in complex systems ranging from ecology and climate to economic theory.
Winter School, March 5-9, 2018 PROGRAM
The meeting starts with a 5-day winter school for doctoral students, young researchers, and interested senior researchers. It consists of three courses featuring lectures and tutorials:

Venue and travel
The CRITICS event will take place at Klosterhotel Wöltingerode ( http://klosterhotel-woeltingerode.de), Goslar, Germany.
Wöltingerode is a small place close to Goslar and can be reached via train booked online from ( http://www.bahn.com/en/) or at train stations. In eithre ways, the arrival rail station will be Vienenburg.
Remark: Note that Sparpreis/Saving fares means that your booking is only valid for the specific train connection (there is no possibility of changing the booking!), whereas
Flexpreis allows you to take a different (earlier/later) train.
Please let us know your arrival times in Vienenburg and we will organize transport to the workshop venue for you ☺.
The closest airport is Hannover (travel time via Hannover Main Station about 1:50h).
Major airports in Germany include Berlin-Tegel (2:40-3:00h) and Frankfurt (3:30-4:00h).
