EARLY REGISTRATION CLOSED. This morning, we closed early 
registration for ESSLLI 2008, and are pleased to report 
that our summer school in Hamburg will become a big event 
with many participants and lots of research interaction. 
Including the lecturers, organizers, and invited workshop 
speakers, we already now count well over 350 participants, 
and more are to be expected in the coming weeks. Registration 
will stay open at the late registration rate until early 
July 2008. If you are not yet registered, you can do so at

STUDENT ACCOMMODATION. Due to the large number of 
registrants, a number of options for the student accommodation 
are already completely booked. There are still lots of beds 
in the two youth hostels at Stintfang and Horner Rennbahn. 
The Youth Hostel "Auf dem Stintfang" typically gets good 
reviews and is beautifully located. Check out the Lonely 
Planet review at:
