This informal meeting has been organized to discuss the latest development and advances in patterns and waves problems, both from the theoretical and more applied points of view. Its primary goal is to bring together groups of researchers working in disparate application areas, but who nevertheless share common models, phenomenological features arising in such problems, and common mathematical tools.

The address of the seminar hotel is "Zarya", Repino, Primorskoe shosse, 423.
The hotel is situated in 15-20 minutes by feet from Repino railway station, and exactly near the bus stop. However the bus does not go often (the timetable for next summer is not determined yet.)
Perhaps you would like to stay some days in the city of St. Petersburg. We can recommend you an "academic" hotel complex "Nauka", which gives reduced prices for persons invited by Russian Academy of Sciences. The conditions are appropriate. The complex has two buildings. One building is situated not far from the Hermitage (25-30 minutes by feet from "Nevsky prospect" underground station), and another building is situated in 5-10 minutes by feet from underground station "Udelnaya", which is approximately in 20 minutes by underground from Nevsky prospect and approximately 45 minutes by train from Repino railway station.
The address of the hotel "Nauka" is:
Please if your prefer to live in "Nauka" hotel, could you inform us about exact days of your stay there. We need this information at least in a month in advance before your coming to make a reservation.
If you prefer another variant of accommodation, we can also help you and reserve a hotel by your choice. However the price in good hotels ("St. Petersburg", "Europe") is approximately US$140-$300 per day.
ATTENTION: Please give us the information for the hotel reservation at your earliest convenience. During the period of white nights all the hotels in St. Petersburg are full and it is a real problem to find an accommodation. The earlier we have exact information on the dates of your stay, the higher is probability to reserve for you better accommodation for a reasonable price.
