Aim of this conference

The plan of having a conference was born at MSRI in Berkeley during the Tropical Geometry semester (Fall 2009) when Mathias Häbich, Margarita Rutgayzer, Kirsten Schmitz and Timo de Wolff decided to meet again back in Germany to exchange their points of view on tropical geometry. Soon, the number of interested young reseachers increased which led to the first PhD students conference in Berlin.

The idea of this two days workshop is to give PhD students the opportunity to present their results and to learn about different aproaches to do tropical geometry. Another important intention of this meeting is to promote the exchange of ideas and collaborations between young researchers. In addition to about eight talks of PhD students there are traditionally two "expert talks" each surveying a special facet of tropical geometry. After the premiere in December 2009 in Berlin, the sequel took place in July 2010 in Frankfurt.
