IMST 2009 Memory Tutorials and FP6/7 Memory Workshop

The IMST2009 will be held in Aachen, Germany from September 8th to 9th 2009.

The conference will take place at the Super C building, which is at Templergraben 57 right next to the mainbuilding of the RWTH Aachen University.

The conference will be preceded by EPCOS2009 which will be held from September 6th to 8th at the samelocation.

Recommended Hotels for EPCOS and IMST are: Hotel Mercure am Dom Hotel Am Marschiertor Aquis Grana

Full details can be found on the EPCOS website (www.epcos.org) and/or the IMST website (www.imst.org)

Note that budget accommodation is available in an RWTH Guest House (
