The MiNDSTEp consortium has successfully led 8 years of observational campaigns using the Danish 1.54m telescope at ESO, La Silla. Several telescopes are joining the consortium building an effective follow-up network. The main scientific focus is the search for extrasolar planets by the microlensing method, but several parallel projects (transits, variables in globular clusters, quasar microlensing, asteroids, brown dwarfs) have produced highly appreciated results.

The annual meeting will provide a great opportunity to report the latest results and discuss the strategies for the future in a friendly and agreeable environment.

Venue

The meeting will be held at International Institute for Advanced Scientific Studies "Eduardo R. Caianiello" (IIASS) in the enchanting scenario of the Amalfi coast. Convenors are expected to lodge at Hotel La Lucertola, 200m from IIASS (see below).

The meeting is also supported by the Physics Department of the University of Salerno.
