Tradition of the Workshop

Josip Plemelj.
The encouragement to organise this Mini-Workshop comes from the successes of the Workshop at Bled/Ljubljana in 1987 ("Mesonic Degrees of Freedom in Hadrons"), as well as two similar Mini-workshops

  • Bled 1998: "What comes beyond the Standard Model", from June 28-July 8, 1998 (organizers: Norma Mankoc Borstnik (Ljubljana) and Holger Bech Nielsen (Copenhagen)), and
  • Bled 1999: "Hadrons as Solitons", from July 7-17, 1999 (organizers: Mitja Rosina, Bojan Golli, Simon Sirca (Ljubljana)).
The participants liked the format of the Workshops, and we hope that our hadronic Mini-Workshops will become traditional (every year).

Josip Plemelj (born 1873) who bequeathed his Villa to the Society of Mathematicians, Physicists and Astronomers of Slovenia, was a renowned mathematician working in the field of linear differential equations and numerous other research areas of pure and applied mathematics. For his work, he was awarded several prizes, and was an elected member of the Ljubljana, Zagreb, Belgrade and Munich academies of sciences. In 1919, he became the first rector of the University of Ljubljana.
