Dear Colleagues,
The NATO Advanced Research Workshop
Frontiers
in Spectroscopy of Emergent Materials: Recent Advances towards New Technologies
will
be held in Sudak (Crimea), Ukraine, 14-18 september 2003 (arrival 13 september,
departure 19 september).

The workshop location is
http://www.toksudak.crimea.com/Sudak-e.htm
which is not far from the Simferopol International airport
http://www.ukraine-international.com/eng/index.html
The Workshop will take place in Sudak, a picturesque and original
Crimean corner located on the coast of Black Sea. Sudak and its vicinities are
rich in sights: Sudak Fortress, whimsical mountains, wild cliffs, mysterious
grottoes, verdure rare for the peninsula and variegated bays. The fortress in
Sudak built by the Genoese in the 14th - 15th centuries is one of the most interesting
monuments of medieval fortifications in Europe. The fortress is two-tier: the
lower tier presents a fortification wall with 14 towers, the upper comprises
the complex of fortification structures with the Consulate Castle. Even today,
especially after the reconstruction, it looks very impressive: |  |
The participations to ARW events proceed mainly
by invitation to ensure high-level contributions.
The workshop fee (for scientists
from industrial and commercial laboratories, and observers from non-eligible
countries) is 250 Euro. Accomodation and travel expenses at the lowest costs
may be granted partially (not for scientists from industrial and commercial
laboratories, and observers from non-eligible countries). Social program will
include excursions, etc.
Number of working days: 5, Number of participants: between 40-50
Objective: Comprehensive multidisciplinary consideration of the state-of-the-art of the contemporary spectroscopic research of emergent materials with different origin, structure, dimensionality and properties for progress in high-technological applications.
Organizing Committee: E.C. Faulques, D.J. Lockwood, D.L. Perry, I.K. Yanson, A.V. Yeremenko

This list is not complete and will be of course

A deadline for abstracts (one page MS Word file, single spaced Times 12, typing area of 15x21.5) is June 5. Following the usual rules of the NATO ARWs the proceedings of the workshop will be published by Kluwer Academic Publishers as a volume in the NATO Sciences Series. Manuscripts will be collected and reviewed during the workshop. The participants are kindly asked for three hard copies of the manuscripts (including original figures) as well as the electronic version of the manuscript on a diskette in PC format (the preferred form is an MSWord file, although TEX files will also be accepted). The manuscript should be camera-ready according to the The papers presented as poster are assumed to be in the form of short communications of the original work with the total length of the manuscript (including the estimated place for figures) of 4 pages. In contrast the authors of oral contribution are requested to present review-type manuscripts with a total length of up to 12 pages. We agree with the publisher that the market for typical conference proceedings is limited, in contrast, editions of text-book or review character are of much more interest.
