The Rungstedgaard conference center is located north of Copenhagen, along the coast of Øresund at the small town Rungsted. From the conference center, which is built around an old mansion, there is wonderful view of this stetch of water that separates Denmark (Sealand) and Sweden. The center is easily accessible by direct train from the Copenhagen Airport and the center of Copenhagen.
You can easily get around North-Sealand and the Copenhagen area by train and bus, see Rejseplanen.

It is now more than 15 years ago that the so-called homogenization method was proposed as a basis for computational means to optimize the topology and shape of continuum structures. From initially being capable mainly of treating minimum compliance design we now see the basic material distribution idea of the methodology applied to a wide range of structural and mechanical problems as well as to problems that couple structural response to other physical responses.
Also, this method has provided insight in micromechanical studies, meaning that the method has given feedback to the area which provided impetus to the field of topological design optimization in its creation. Finally, topological design is now an integral part of most FEM software systems and it has become a standard industrial tool in some fields.
This IUTAM Symposium is meant to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas for future developments in the area of topological design optimization. This will encompass the application to fluid-solid interaction problems, acoustics problems, and to problems in biomechanics, as well as to other multiphysics problems. New basic modelling paradigms, covering new geometry modelling such as level-set methods, topological derivatives, and wavelets, as well as developments in computational approaches will also be focus areas. It is here of special interest to emphasize situations where the material distribution method is hard to apply, and where novel ideas will be especially useful.
