Keynotes

FODS Meeting 2024 had three keynote speakers:

• Benny Akesson (University of Amsterdam and TNO-ESI)
• Martijn van der Horst (ASML)
• Michel Reniers (TU/e)

Important Dates

Abstract submission: December 15th (AoE).
Notification: latest December 22nd.
Meeting: 9 April morning until 12 April lunch time.

Venue

The venue has changed to room Vertigo 5.07 on floor 5 of the Vertigo building on the TU/e campus—see building 6 / quadrant B5 of the campus map. TU/e is easily reachable by car and from Eindhoven main train station (less than 10 minutes away by foot). The latter has frequent trains to/from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport as well as frequent buses to/from Eindhoven Airport.

Social Events

On Tuesday, there will be a reception at De Zwarte Doos, building directly west of the Vertigo building.
On Wednesday, there will be a guided tour of the Philips Museum from mid-afternoon, and dinner at Trafalgar Pub in the evening.
On Thursday, there will be a buffet dinner (Rijsttafel) at De Zwarte Doos.

Accommodation

Many good hotel options are located in the Eindhoven city center to the southwest of campus (15 minutes by foot, via the train station or Silly Walks Tunnel). There are two hotels in very close proximity to the train station and TU/e campus we can recommend:
(1) The Social Hub Eindhoven (https://www.thesocialhub.co/eindhoven)
(2) Crown Hotel Eindhoven (https://www.crownhoteleindhoven.com)

Both hotels have similar prices per night and should fulfill typically approved fees per night. There are no special offers by TU/e, however we have reserved a block of rooms at the Crown Hotel (10 rooms on 8 April and 30 rooms on 9, 10, and 11 April) for FOSD participants. Please see the detailed info in the e-mail sent to participants.

A few other hotels near TU/e are west of campus (Holiday Inn) or northwest of campus (Teaching Hotel De Rooi Pannen).
