ISSRNS'98                       1st Announcement           Call for Papers
 
IV INTERNATIONAL
SCHOOL AND SYMPOSIUM
ON SYNCHROTRON RADIATION
IN NATURAL SCIENCE
June 15-20, 1998, Ustron- Jaszowiec, POLAND 
Organized by: Polish Synchrotron Radiation Society
Sponsors: Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences;  Institute of Physics, Jagiellonian University; Faculty of Physics, Warsaw University;   Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences;
State Committee for Scientific Research

SCOPE OF THE SCHOOL Since the first meeting, in 1992, the ISSRNS has been organizing  as a biennial event. It is a traditional forum for discussing fundamental issues of application of the synchrotron radiation and related methods in natural science (physics, chemistry, materials science, molecular biology, biomedicine), covering in particular the following topics :  

The scientific program of the School includes invited general lectures, poster sessions and panel discussions. The Scientific Committee introduces also a novel presentation option called "invited original talk" addressed to the contributors who would like to present particularly interesting, new results in a short lecture (not exceeding 30 min). The applicant for the "invited original talk" should submit, before December 15, 1997, a standard camera-ready abstract (see below) and, optionally, an extended abstract (not exceeding 2 pages). The submitted applications will be refereed and qualified by the Scientific Committee. The winners of the competition, receiving the status of the "invited original talk" speakers, will be entitled to pay reduced participation costs. The deadline for submission of the abstracts of the other contributed papers (see below) is February 1, 1998
