The University of Delaware is located in the town of Newark, DE (not to be confused with Newark, NJ). Here is a map of the campus.

Driving: Newark, DE and the University of Delaware are just a couple of miles off is just off I-95 in Delaware. You can use either exit 1B or exit 3.

Parking: Attendees who wish to drive should park in the Trabant Parking Garage, and keep the parking card they get at the entrance with them; you can purchase parking vouchers to a garage near the venue for $7.50 a day, and these can be picked up from Linda Popowich in Ewing Hall​ 501 during working hours once you arrive.

Flying: The closest major airport is Philadelphia International Airport From there you can rent a car or take a shuttle (see 'Delaware Express Shuttle' below)​ or a taxi. We are about a 40 minute drive from the airport.

Baltimore/Washington International Airport is about 75 minutes away and Newark Liberty International Airport is less that 2 hours away. From both, Amtrak can be taken with connection to Wilmington (occasional trains that go directly to Newark, DE are also available, but may not be running at the times you need them).

Train: Amtrak is available going to Wilmington, DE (and at certain times in the morning and evening, directly to Newark, DE). You will find taxis outside the train station to make the 20-minute drive to Newark, DE. Also, SEPTA is available to Newark, DE from Wilmington, although, again, the times may not be suitable.

Delaware Express Shuttle: A shuttle service run by Delaware Express​ can be booked for travel from PHL airport or the Amtrak station in Wilmington. Have your travel departure and arrival times ready in order to make a reservation with them.

Local University Shuttle: Free shuttle service from the conference hotel to the conference site will be provided by the Mathematics Department. See the schedule below.

The pickup locations are the Embassy Suites hotel and Smith Hall at S. College Ave.

Coming Soon!

We expect we will be able to provide financial support to some of the participants who wish to attend, but this is not yet confirmed. Possible funding will be advertised as soon as it will become available. Junior researchers may request reimbursement of their travel and local expenses to attend the conference. Funds are reserved for Ph.D. students and young researchers less than 5 years beyond the Ph.D. To request funds, please send an e-mail to both Sandra Cerrai () and to with the subject line "SSP Travel Support: " and the following information:

Your name,
Your current affiliation (i.e. Department and University),
Your current professional title (e.g. Ph.D. student, or Visiting Assistant Professor),
The institution and title of your Ph.D. (if different from your current affiliation),
The names and e-mail addresses of one or two references,
A short paragraph explaining your motivation to attend the Conference.
A letter from your adviser supporting your attendance in the conference.
The above information MUST BE RECEIVED BY FEBRUARY 1, 2016, to guarantee consideration for support. To receive travel reimbursement funds, you must also have checked the YES box under the Travel Support section of the online registration form. For those adhering to this deadline, notification of support will occur on or before February 15, 2016.

In any case, funds will be limited. Priority will be given to Ph.D. students, young researchers who are less than 3 years beyond the Ph.D., and other young researchers in non-tenure-track appointments. Among these, women and people from underepresented groups in the mathematical sciences are particularly encouraged to attend the conference, seek travel support, and present a short talk; these individuals will be given the highest priority for funding.

Administrative forms that must be filled out and signed, and other instructions, including how to submit receipts, will be given during the conference.
