30th International Symposium
on Dynamical Properties of Solids
Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic
September 27 - October 1, 2005
Welcome! The DYPROSO Symposium is a research meeting aimed at promotion of new ideas and concepts in physics of excited states of condensed matter by stimulating scientific discussions among young and experienced scientists actively working in this broad field. Advances both in the theory (molecular dynamics simulations, ab-initio calculations, new formulations and phenomenological models, etc.) and in the experiment (including optical spectroscopies, inelastic neutron and X-ray scattering and novel techniques) are presented. The symposium format assumes limited number of participants, no proceedings and no parallel sessions. The speakers are encouraged to talk about their latest results and about open problems, and they are asked to include in their talk a tutorial overview of recent advancements in the relevant field.
The DYPROSO 2005 meeting was held at Hotel Ruze in Cesky Krumlov, a charming little town of South Bohemia, with its historical centre inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The program started with a Welcome coctail on Tuesday evening, September 27 and it ended with a lunch on Saturday, October 1.
The general scope of the meeting includes topics like lattice, spin and charge dynamics, phase transitions, glasses, and soft condensed matter.

The venue of DYPROSO 2005 is Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic.
A small map of the city centre is available in the downloads section.
The symposium was held in the Hotel Ruze, Horni Street 154. This historical building was built in the 16th century as a Jesuitical Monastery and University. It has preserved the beauty and style of the renaissance, despite recent extensive interior restoring and modernizing works.
The picture was kindly provided by Unios tourist service.

Fishponds trimmed with little hills together with historical sights create a truly magic atmosphere. Visitors enjoy forest walks, canoe-boat river rides, cycling or swimming in the unspoilt nature. On evenings, typical local pubs are waiting for their guests with a wide offer of local fish and beers of the area - one of them is the world's only original Budweiser (Budvar). No wonder Cesky Krumlov is becoming quite a popular conference site.
According to legend, the name Krumlov is deduced from the German “Krumme Aue”, which can be translated as a “crooked meadow”.
The name comes from the natural trait of the town, especially from the tight crooked meander of the Vltava river. In Latin documents it was called Crumlovia or Crumlovium. The town was first mentioned in documents dated to 1253, where Krumlov was called Chrumbonowe.
The castle and town were founded in the middle of the 13th century on two meanders of Vltava river that closely follow each other around. The castle itself and its corresponding settlement are situated opposite the town. This configuration of elevations is highlighted by a couple of local architectural giants, mainly the tower of St. Vitus church and the castle tower. The lower part of the town is spread out across the lee side of a long southern row of the castle, the second largest castle in Bohemia (after Prague castle).
At present Cesky Krumlov is becoming more and more the final destination of thousands of visitors from our country and abroad. It is no wonder, as it has been preserved as a medieval architectural historical monument and is nicely located on the meander of the Vltava river. The unrivalled status of the town has led to designation of Cesky Krumlov as a historical urban reservation as early as 1963. The significance of Cesky Krumlov as an unusual historical monument was pointed out in 1992 by the act of the International Association of UNESCO. Cesky Krumlov was included among the monuments of world importance, those to which exceptional care, attention and support should be indispensably devoted. The unique urban integrity contains more than 300 historical buildings and its atmosphere is absolutely incomparable.
The symposium site is an ideal place for sightseeing and trips. Spending the Saturday/Sunday night in Cesky Krumlov may allow you to get a cheaper flight and have some more time to enjoy the local area. Why not to register for the post-conference sightseeing tour, planned for Saturday afternoon, October 1? Other common social program for participants or accompanying persons can be arranged upon request as well.
Rozmberk Castle was founded in 1250 in place where an important merchants’ path led. Originally it had a German name “Rosenberg”.
Under the reign of Vaclav I. Vok and his closest descendants it was the seat of the ruler and the centre of the estate. In spite of its strategic location, the castle had ben conquered for several times. In 1551 the family estate was handed over to a sixteen-year old Vilem of Rozmberk. Intensive construction works were realized at that time.
The Cistercian Abbey in Vyssi Brod (known in Latin as Altum Vadum) was founded on 1 June 1259 by Vok of Rozmberk. According to the legend it was founded as a gratitude to Virgin Mary as P. Vok had been miraculously rescued from the wild waters of the swollen Vltava river when he had prayed to her while drowning. At present the Cistercian monks try to reset the monastery’s original character which they have got back after forty years, and to make it the regional spiritual and cultural centre, still guarding the memory of the famous Rozmberk family of Bohemia who died out in 1611. After the Rozmberks, the monastery was under the protection of the Eggenbergs, and, from 1719, the Shwarzenbergs. Between 1950 and 1990, the monastery was used as a museum, run by the state, and in 1991 was given back to the Cistercian order.
A guided tour (in English), 3-4 hours. Price: 900 CZK

In case of need, Cesky Krumlov can be reached also by taxi, although the fares are recently not very cheap (from the Prague Airport, about 4200-4700 CZK). It is always recommended to order a taxi by phone. You may try a toll-free call 800 118 294 to Profi Taxi (english speaking; the boarding place is at the airport entrance door F), or a payed call (+420) 233 322 333 to AAA Radiotaxi.
