Heteroclinic networks Pascal Chossat (Nice)
Dissipation induced instabilities Gianne Derks (Surrey)
Hamiltonian dynamics around critical elements Juan-Pablo Ortega (Lausanne)
Relative equilibria of molecules Mark Roberts (Warwick)
Periodic orbits in Hill's regions Luca Sbano (Warwick/Rome)
Symmetries of the affine rigid body Esmeralda Sousa Dias (Lisbon)
Stability of Hamiltonian relative equilibria of non-compact group actions Claudia Wulff (Berlin)
Mathematical problems in molecular spectroscopy Boris Zhilinskii (Dunkirk)

 

Other contributions (1/2 hour)
Bifurcations in low-Prandtl-number Benard-Marangoni convection Thomas Boeck (Dresden)
Generic twistless bifurcations Holger Dullin (Loughborough)
Symmetry and resonance in periodic FPU chains Bob Rink (Utrecht)
A degenerate bifurcation in the Hénon-Heiles family Britta Sommer (Aachen)
Some remarks on the evaluation of Casimirs in finite dimensional Poisson systems Razvan Tudoran (Timisoara)
