For one week in summer and sometimes also for another week in winter we escape to remote locations in the mountains and do nothing but work, eat well, and enjoy nature. In the summer we regularly go to Buchboden. Sometimes we are also joined by other groups from the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science or external guests. You can find a list of guests and results below.
Here is a (partial) list of results obtained in our research retreats. The year given is the year in which the corresponding workshop was held.
