Organisers
AlbaNova University Center Royal Institute of Technololgy email to organisers.FCS2006@biomolphysics.kth.se Aims and purposeThe development of Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) and related methods, and their use for exploring biomolecules and their dynamics, interactions and functions, is a very exciting and rapidly developing field of research. While turning into a well established technique, still further developments of the FCS technique and variants thereof are frequently reported, and yet new areas and topics of applications are explored. The purpose of this workshop is to reflect this development, and to provide a venue for researchers in the field to discuss their recent results. The workshop also aims at providing an introduction of these techniques to researchers considering applying FCS and related techniques within their specific fields of study, in particular within biology and biomedicine. The workshop will consist of a series of lectures by leading researchers in the field, a poster session, as well as social events. Prior to the opening of the workshop, three tutorial introductory lectures will be given, intended primarily for PhD students, but open to all participants of the workshop. Experience the exotic, cosy atmosphere of Stockholm in dark December! The workshop is given in direct conjunction to the Nobel festivities in Stockholm, offering the possibility to extend the stay in Stockholm after the workshop to attend the open lectures of the newly appointed Nobel laureates of this year (December 8 2006). Ph D course on FCS and related methodsTogether with the tutorial lectures preceding the workshop on Monday morning the 4th of December, the workshop is also arranged as a Ph D course. Full participation gives 1.5 ECTS credits. For Ph D students who want to receive study points for participation, please notify the organisers by e-mail in advance or on Monday morning before the first tutorial lecture starts.Invited speakers
Call for AbstractsParticipants are invited to submit abstracts on new research in FCS and related methods. The topic should be presented as a poster at the workshop. Based on the topics a few contributions will be selected for oral presentation. The abstract should be prepared according to the guidelines below and submitted by e-mail as a MSWord document to abstracts.FCS2006@biomolphysics.kth.se not later than November 20 2006. You may also want to download and look at a sample abstract.

ProgramThe table below is a tentative program for the workshop on FCS and related methods (blue) as well as the simultaneous Ph. D. course (yellow and blue) December 2006.
The workshop dinner is in the restaurant of the Vasa museum and include a guided tour in the museum. A detailed program for both the workshop and the additional lectures of the Ph D course can be found here. Workshop feesThe workshop fee includes the workshop dinner, guided tour at the Vasa museum and lunches on Tuesday and Wednesday.
** Students at KTH and KI in Stockholm are supported by their institutes to participate free of charge (no lunches and no dinner included). *** The fee for the accompanying person includes workshop dinner at, entrance fee to and a guided tour at the Vasa museum on Tuesday December 5 2006. Here, VAT is included for both swedish and non-swedish participants. RegistrationYou may register to the workshop or the Ph. D. course by sending your name including appropriate title (ms., miss, mr., Dr. or Prof.), full address and participation information (tell us if you are a person from a commercial site, student or senior researcher from an educational site) in an e-mail to registration.FCS2006@biomolphysics.kth.se no later than November 20 2006. Foreign participants should include the VAT number of their institution as well. The workshop fee should be paid according to the guidline for payment of the registration fee below. For the registration fee you also get two lunches at AlbaNova University Center, a workshop dinner and a guided tour at the Vasa Museum. Please, inform us if you cannot eat fish, calf meet, can only eat lactose free food or have other requests on the food. The restaurant needs to know how many persons there will be at the workshop dinner. Therefore, students at Karolinska Institutet and Royal Institute of Technology should inform us if you attend the workshop dinner (and pay the student's registration fee) or just the lectures and talks (free of charge).
Guideline for payment of registration feeThe fee should be paid by bank transfer no later than November 20 2006. Please, put in the following information in the bank transfer form and send us a notice by e-mail to registration.FCS2006@biomolphysics.kth.se when the payment is transfered.
LocationThe 9th workshop on FCS and related methods will be held at AlbaNova University Center where the Physics and Biotechnology departments of the Royal Institute of Technology are located, together with the Physics and Astronomy departments from the Stockholm University. All lectures and seminars are held in the lecture hall FR4.AlbaNova University Center is located 3 km north of the central train station in Stockholm as can be seen from above. The web pages of AlbaNova University Center provide another general description on how to get here. Here is an additional map showing how you walk the last 800 m from the subway stop to AlbaNova. AccomodationBelow is a list of hotels, boarding houses, and youth hostels selected with focus on budget and the distance from AlbaNova University Center. The closest hotel appear first in the list and other names appear in order of increasing walking distance from AlbaNova University Center.
Travel information
To Stockholm/ArlandaSeveral (major) airlines fly to Arlanda airport. Among the low price airlines are Sterling.dk and FlyNordic. From Arlanda airport to Stockholm city it takes 40 minutes to travel by bus (SEK 90) and 20 minutes by train (SEK 200).

Therefore, do not forget to keep the ticket.If you use SL's excellent travel planner to plan the travel in Stockholm you should now that the name of the bus stop closest to AlbaNova University Center is called Ruddammen.
