Dear subscribers of the ESSLLI newsletter:

We shall keep you informed via the ESSLLI newsletter about
the developments in the preparation of ESSLLI 2008. The
newsletters will be sent out at least once a month, and more
often as ESSLLI 2008 approaches. For further information,
please check our webpage at

            http://events.illc.uva.nl/ESSLLI2008

If you have any questions about ESSLLI 2008, please send an
e-mail to the coordinating e-mail address

                esslli2008@science.uva.nl

REGISTRATION.  If you are planning to attend ESSLLI 2008,
we encourage you to register as early as possible at:

   http://events.illc.uva.nl/ESSLLI2008/Registration/index.php

The registration process for an ESSLLI summer school is a
daunting task -- we expect 500 individual cases of registration,
all in different categories and with different needs. Many of
them require personal attention, and this is a lot of work for
our volunteers and helpers. As a consequence, it would be
greatly appreciated if all of you can help us to let this
process run as smoothly as possible by registering early (in
order to avoid having almost all registrations coming in during
two days before the early registration deadline of 1 May).
Thanks in advance!
