Further Information
If you need financial support, please contact: [email protected]
We will prepare a memorial collection in memory of Ning Cai, to be published by Springer Verlag. For this, we ask for the submission of surveys and research papers; but also stories about Ning, about the joint work or even anecdotes are welcome. Please send submissions to the following email: [email protected]
If you are unable to attend the memorial workshop in memory of Ning Cai, we welcome videos in his memory of up to two minutes duration. We will show a compilation of the videos during the workshop.
Accommondations
Accommodations nearby are Mercure Hotel Bielefeld Johannisberg, Hotel Bartsch and Hotel Stadt Bremen.
Another option is to book a hotel downtown near the town rail (Stadtbahn). The town rail goes to the university and from there it takes 10 minutes to walk to ZIF:
