Waves in Complex Photonic Media II: Mathematics, Physics & Engineering

From Wednesday, 03 june 2020 to Friday, 05 june 2020

Anacapri, Capri Island, Italy

EVENT NOW PART OF EOSAM 2021 CONFERENCE:

Due to the sanitary and travel restrictions, the event was postponed in 2020 but now found a new home under the EOS Annual Meeting, EOSAM 2021, to be held in Rome, Italy, 13 - 17 September 2021. If restrictions still prevail, the event will be held online. Read more about the topical meeting here.

We will see you at EOSAM 2021: www.eosam2021.org

EVENT POSTPONED

Unfortunately, the developing COVID-19 situation is forcing us to postpone the workshop
"Waves in Complex Photonic Media". While we hope that the situation in June will be
much better than it is today, it is important that we act with safety as of our primary concern
and make determinations on the basis of the information that we have at this time.

We are currently evaluating options for alternative dates. It is however too soon for us to
narrow down dates. We will inform about new developments here on the event website. We hope you understand the circumstances that have led to this decision, and we wish you all the best
during these particularly challenging times.

Stay safe and healthy,
Event organizing team

Venue

CNR Conference Center
Address: Via Ceselle, 6, 80071 Anacapri NA, Italy

Capri is a beautiful and picturesque island in the Gulf of Naples, in the South of Italy. Its mild climate, the numerous monuments and island highlights, and last but not least the excellent Italian cuisine and wine culture make Capri a perfect location for relaxing and enjoying the Mediterranean atmosphere. The Island of Capri has two towns: Capri and Anacapri. If the Piazzetta of Capri is the unrivalled focus of the island's glamorous social life, filled with elegant sidewalk cafes, the pretty historic centre of Anacapri located on the slopes of Mount Solaro is the exact opposite, with its peaceful piazzas and bougainvillea and geranium festooned lanes. It is a concentration of Mediterranean colours, scents, and sounds. Town life here has remained authentic despite the island's tourism: tucked between the houses there are tiny, humble vegetable gardens surrounded by lush tropical plants. A walk around the centre of Anacapri will take you past tiny Neapolitan tailor shops, artisan shoemakers, ladies sitting in the shade outside working on their knitting while exchanging gossip and news...all with the scent of the town's lemon groves that permeates the air.

The EOS Topical Meetings in Capri will be held at the Conference Centre of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), the former Royal Swedish Academy Solar Observatory, Via Ceselle, Anacapri (Na), Italy.

Transportation

The nearest International Airport to Capri is Naples International Airport.

From Naples International Airport to train station/port
From the airport the best and cheapest way to get to the train station/port is the AliBus, a bus departing every 20 minutes that takes passengers to either the train station and to the port in a less than 30 minutes.

From the port to Capri
The island of Capri can be reached by regular ferry or hydrofoil connections from Naples and other locations like Sorrento, Amalfi and Salerno. Ferries depart from Molo Beverello in Naples, a few steps away from the bus stop.

A regular bus running every fifteen minutes takes from Capri to Anacapri. Tickets can be purchased directly from the bus driver. See also http://www.capritourism.com/.

How to get to CNR Conference Center

Guests traveling to Anacapri by bus should descend at the “Bar Grotta Azzurra” bus stop. It’s the 4th stop after “Piazza Vittoria”, the main bus stop in Anacapri (usually announced by the driver, who simply calls out “Anacapri”). Feel free to ask the driver to let you know when the bus gets to the Bar Grotta Azzurra stop. From here, you’ll need to walk down Via Pagliaro for about 200 meters until reaching a junction. Turn left and walk uphill for circa 50 meters.
