Modelling week in Lund
1-10 July 2000
Reporting
During the modeling week eight different projects were treated and the resulting reports are presented here. All the files are in pdf format.Latest News
During the week this home page was used for informing everybody about the ongoing activities. The (maybe somewhat outdated) list of 'Latest News' is available here.Arriving in Lund
- By plane to Kastrup, Copenhagen:
The busses 'Flygbåtarna' takes you to the boat that goes to Malmö at the price 120 Skr(=14 EUR). From Malmö take the train to Lund, it will cost 34 Skr(=4 EUR). Going back to Kastrup might be over the Öresund Bridge, which will be officially inaugurated during July 1st but open for the public only from July 2nd.
- By plane to Sturup, Malmö:
The buss 'Flygbussarna' goes to the train station in Lund and costs 60 Skr(=7 EUR). You can also take a taxi directly to Lund for 199 Skr(=23 EUR) (go with 'Minitaxi' the other taxis costs 300-330 Skr).
- By train to Lund:
Here is a timetable.
Accommodation and food
All participants and instructors from outside Lund will be living in the International Graduate Student House. Contract for the two weeks from June 29th until July 12th will have to be signed at arrival in Lund. As you see on the home page given, this is a very good accomodation, so bring your laptop.There are very many good restaurants, pubs, .. in town, but most of the eating during the week will be on the campus restaurant, Kårme (located in 'KH' on the map over Lund Institute of Technology (Centre for Math Sci is located in the 'maths' building on the same map)). You will however be asked to fix your own breakfast and you will also get the opportunity to try some of the restaurants in town during the evenings on Sunday (2/7) and Saturday (8/7). You will find more detailed information on the dining during the modelling week here.
Computers
The computer facilities are the following, where the first decimal digit indicates the floor in the building. All the rooms are equipped with printers.- Room 139: 15 PC's.
- Room 140: 8 PC's + 5 Unix's.
- Room 226 (Das Gupta): 1 PC's + 7 Unix's.
- Room 436 (Da Vinci): 1 PC's + 4 Unix's.
The first day all participants will get user accounts on for both operating systems. The accounts will be set up so that by default all students can read all other students' files. Matlab will be available on all machines.
Email of any type is easily read and written from the Unix computers. On the PC's it is only possible to use a mail service like Yahoo or Hotmail that uses HTTP. Unfortunately SMTP and all other ports are stopped by a firewall for security reasons.
More about our computers on our computer system homepage.
Libraries
There are three libraries that will be open for you during the week. In the mathematics building, we have a library for mathematics and a library for mathematical statistics. You will have access to both of these for reading and borrowing via your instructor, also copying will be possible. On campus there is also a general university library, see UB2 on the campus map. You will have the possibility to use it for reading, and there will also be a facility for copying available. However, there will be some restrictions on the possibilities to borrow books from this library.The department libraries will be possible to use whenever you can persuade your instructor to let you in. The university library will be opened during weekdays from 10 to 17 except on Wednesday when they close at 7 pm.
Social events and excursions
As you can see from the program below there will be an excursion to the island Ven. This trip will bring you to some nice bathing shores, to the artefacts from the observatory of Tycho Brahe and we will have a little picnic!!You will get a good opportunity to get more acquainted with Lund, since we are to arrange a Guided tour of the town during Thursday afternoon!
Furthermore, there will be presentations by COMSOL from Stockholm, Adtranz from Helsingborg and also some companies from Lund during the week.
And finally (in this part of the programme) there will be two dinners for all of us, the first on Friday 7/7 at 7pm we will have a TexMex dinner cooked by YOU (but with some organization by us). The second dinner is the ECMI MODELLING WEEK DINNER on the campus restaurant. You will get good Swedish food and you are supposed to organize the entertainment!
Have a look at this page for some hints about downtown evening fun.

During the modelling week eight projects are studied. The resulting modelling work will be presented on Sunday, July 9th at a seminar in MH:C at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences starting at 13.30. Each project group is alotted 25 minutes for the presentation and questions. The program for the presentations isPhotos
Here are some snapshots, we will try to get all of the groups on the net, and why not in the proceedings!Local organisation committe, Contact persons
