Aims and purpose
The 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 methods
Together 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.

Travel information
To Stockholm/Arlanda
Several
(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).
There is a budget alternative to go to Stockholm city from Arlanda
airport: Take bus 583 to Märsta, switch to local train in
Märsta and stay on the local train until it reaches Stockholm
city. Since local bus, local train and subway all are owned by one
company (SL) you can go all the way with just one ticket (SEK 20,
if you make it within one hour). 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.
To Stockholm/Skavsta
The airport Stockholm/Skavsta is hosting the airline ryanair.com.
It takes approximately 80 minutes to travel from Skavsta airport to
Stockholm city by bus.
