   this	   conference,	   filled	
   with	   interesting	   physics	   in	   our	   field,	   a	  number	  of	  social	
  events	  will	  be	  organized	  to	  stimulate	  interaction	  between	  you	  as	   participants.	
   These	   events	   are	   organized	   to	   make	   new	   friends,	
   build	
   your	  network,	   challenge	   colleagues	   and	
   solve	   problems	   encountered	   in	   your	   own	  research	   all	   at	   the	   same	
   time!	   Get	
   ready	   to	   participate	   in	   lively	   discussions,	
   build	  actual	  bridges	  in	  a	  workshop	  and	
  solve	  fun	  problems!	
  During	  the	  day,	
  there	  will	  be	   plenty	   of	   activities	   organized	   in	   the	   conference	   building,	   the	   Beurs	   van	  Berlage.	  	  	  However,	   before	   we	   forget:	   Welcome	   to	   the	   City	   of	   Amsterdam!	   As	   the	  conference	
   will	   be	   held	   in	   the	   most	   central	
   part	   of	   this	   beautiful	
   city,	   it	   would	   be	  a	  pity	  not	  to	  take	  the	  opportunity	  to	  explore	  what	  it	  has	  to	  offer.	  So	  why	  not	  dive	  together	  with	  us	  into	  the	  heart	  of	  Amsterdam,	  participating	  in	  various	  activities	  in	   the	   evenings	   in	   historical	   buildings	   and	   neighbourhoods,	
   while	   getting	   to	  know	   one	   another	   in	   an	   informal	
   way?	   On	   Monday	   evening	
   there	
   will	   be	   a	  welcome	
   drink	
   after	
   which	   you	
   have	
   time	   to	   settle	   in.	   On	   Tuesday	
   and	  Wednesday	   we	   organize	   evening	   events	   throughout	   the	   central	   neighbourhood	  of	   Amsterdam,	   where,	   for	   example,	   you	
   will	
   learn	
   about	   the	   city's	   history	   and	
  maybe	   even	   add	   a	   new	   chapter	   to	   this	   history	   ourselves?	   On	   Thursday,	   the	  conference	   dinner	   is	   organized	   at	   the	   top	   floor	   of	   the	   128-­‐year-­‐old	   Heineken	  brewery	   building	   housing	   the	   Heineken	   	  Experience	   (limited	   tickets	   available).	  
Top	
  floor,	  at	  that	
  place,	
  means	
  you'll	  have	  a	  great	  view	  while	  enjoying	  food	  and	  drinks!	  	  We	  hope	  to	  see	  you	  at	  all	  of	  our	  activities,	  keep	  an	  eye	  on	  the	  website	  and	  your	
  email	   for	
   more	   updates!	   We	   will	   be	   at	   our	   central	
   booth	   throughout	   the	
   TIPP	  conference	
  where	  you	  can	  subscribe	  to	  our	
  events	  and	  ask	  us	  anything!	  Conference	  program	  	  A	  provisional	  conference	  schedule	  including plenary keynote talks	  is	  available	  on	  the	   TIPP2014	   indico	   system.	   	   We	   are	   delighted	   to	   have	   G.	   de	   Geronimo	  (Brookhaven	   National	   Laboratory),	   G.

Venue	  	  TIPP	
   2014	
   will	   be	   held	   at	   the	   Beurs	   van	   Berlage,	   a	   building	
   with	   a	   rich	   history	  and	   beautiful	   architecture.	   The	
   Beurs	   van	   Berlage	   was	
   built	   between	
   1898	   and	
  1903	
   under	   the	   auspices	   of	   the	   famous	   architect	
   H.P.	   Berlage.	   A	   that	
   time,	   the	  building	   generated	
   some	   controversy,	   but	   today	   it	   is	   considered	   to	   be	   a	   prime	  example	  of	  modern	
  Dutch	  architecture.	  	  	  Information	  for	  presenters	  	  Speakers	  are	  requested	  to	  upload
