Short report
Zeta and L-functions are fundamental objects in Number Theory and their deeper understanding is crucial for most major programmes in the subject. The study of multiple Dirichlet series (MDS) began more recently than that of classical Dirichlet series but is rapidly developing and, in recent years, there has been a surge of important breakthroughs. The main achievements in the theory so far include the construction of Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series, applications of MDS to the problem of non-vanishing of twists of L-functions, to convexity breaking, to moments of zeta and L-functions and the connections to multiple zeta function values. The workshop brought together the main workers in the field of MDS and other leading international experts in allied subjects, as well as younger researchers and post-graduate students working in related areas. The workshop centred around excellent talks reporting on the most recent developments in MDS and in areas that have the potential of fruitful interaction with the subject. We expect that the questions during the talks and the one-to-one discussions during the meeting will stimulate further progress in the major problems and will point to further research directions in the broader area of MDS.

Arrangements
Venue
The workshop will be held in the Lecture Theatre, G08, on the ground floor of the William Robertson Building, University of Edinburgh, George Square. The University of Edinburgh provides this useful interactive map of the area with the building marked in a yellow circle.
Registration
There will be a combined Registration and Welcome Buffet from 19.00 to 20.30 on Sunday 3 August, in the St Trinnean's Room, St Leonard's Hall, Pollock Halls. Food will be available throughout that period and you may register at any time between 19.00 and 20.30.
Those who cannot register on Sunday evening may do so at the workshop venue before the talks start on Monday morning.
Travel
Information about travel to the UK and Edinburgh is available here.
If you have requested accommodation (see below), travel information and directions to Pollock Halls can be found on the website for Edinburgh First, who co-ordinate the accommodation bookings, http://www.edinburghfirst.com/edinburghfirst/travel.asp . We recommend that you take a taxi to the Halls. A taxi should cost between 6.00 and 7.00 GBP from the main railway station (Waverley Station) and between 17.00 and 21.00 GBP from Edinburgh airport. Alternatively there are frequent buses from the airport to Waverley Station, from where you can get a taxi to Pollock Halls. For timetable and details see http://www.flybybus.com/index.php.
The second of these two maps of Pollock Halls shows the location of both Pollock Halls and William Robertson Building where the lectures will take place. It is approximately a 15 minute walk between the two sites.
Lothian buses charge £1.10 for a single, £2.50 for a day ticket. Please note that the exact fare is required and no change is given. There are several Lothian Buses from the centre of town to Pollock Halls: Service No. 30, 14, 33 or the X48 Park and Ride Bus. If you enter the Service No on the Lothian Buses webpage, you will be able to view the timetable for each service bus. Leave the bus at The Commonwealth Pool on Dalkeith Road. Pollock Halls is situated just behind The Commonwealth Pool.

Accommodation
ICMS has arranged rooms in university accommodation in Pollock Halls for participants who require it. Participants are also free to make their own arrangements. A list of Edinburgh accommodation of various sorts and prices can be found on the Accommodation Page on the ICMS web site. Section 4 is particularly relevant. August is very busy in Edinburgh and early booking is recommended.

On arrival at Pollock Halls, please go to the Reception Building on your left, where you will pick up your key and some further information. You can get into your room after 14.00. If you arrive earlier you can leave your luggage at Reception. Pollock Halls has 24 hour reception.
Meals and Refreshments
There will be a Registration buffet in the St Trinneans Room in St Leonards, Pollock Halls on Sunday evening 3 August and a Workshop dinner on the evening of Thursday 7 August at the Playfair Library, Old College. Morning and afternoon refreshments will be provided at the workshop venue as well as lunch on Monday 4 August.
Computer access
At Registration you will be issued with a username, password and further information which will enable you to access either the wireless network or a public PC nearby. William Robertson Building is within a wireless zone as are parts of Pollock Halls.
Financial support available
The buffet supper on Sunday, a light lunch Monday, and the workshop dinner on Thursday evening will be provided free of charge to participants.
We hope that some participants may be able to cover their own travel expenses so we can offer some degree of financial assistance to more junior participants. Further information will be provided in individual invitation letters.
If ICMS has agreed to reimburse some of your travel costs, this will be stated in the 'Financial Arrangements' section of the 'Final Information' email. All reimbursement occurs after the workshop. You will be given a claim form at Registration and asked for your bank details to enable payment directly into your account. Please note that receipts are required for all expenses claimed. It would be useful if you can bring your bank details to the workshop.
US delegates can claim directly through an NSF grant in the USA. You will be issued with an NSF claim form at the workshop Registration. To claim through NSF you MUST use a US carrier. Please note that original receipts and boarding passes are required for all expenses claimed. All receipts and completed forms should be submitted within 10 business days after completion of travel. If ICMS has agreed to reimburse some of your travel costs through the NSF grant, this will be stated in the 'Financial Arrangements' section of the 'Final Information' email.
