2ND CIRCULAR: MARCH 2000
The conference will be held in Prague-Troja [approx. 5 km north of
Wenceslas Square and less than 1 km from the Metro (subway/underground)
station Nadrazi Holesovice], in buildings of the Charles University.
The local organization will be undertaken by the J. Heyrovsky
Institute of Physical Chemistry in the Academy of Sciences of the Czech
Republic, Prague.
Please note that the meeting starts on a Sunday and ends on a Thursday.
Hence you can conveniently make use of low-priced air line tickets
requiring you to spend a Saturday night in Prague.
Please note that EUCMOSXXV: 25th European Congress on Molecular
Spectroscopy will take place in Coimbra, Portugal, August 27 - September 1,
2000, that is during the week before PRAHA2000.
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is a first-rank European
cultural centre. It is not only a historical city with an extensive
legacy of gothic and baroque cultural treasures, but also a modern
metropolis with an infrastructure prepared to welcome more than a
million visitors per year.

matrices.
* Experimental techniques for observing such spectra.
* Theory assisting the prediction, simulation, and interpretation of
them.
* Applications in related fields such as the physics and chemistry
of the atmospheres of planets and cool stars, the physics and
chemistry of the interstellar medium, chemical kinetics, etc.
Abstracts
---------
The deadline for submission of abstracts is May 1st 2000.
ELECTRONIC ABSTRACT SUBMISSION (EAS)
We offer fully automated electronic abstract submission. We employ
slightly modified versions of the programs written by Dr. Sergey Panov
and Prof. Terry A. Miller for the Ohio State University Symposia on
Molecular Spectroscopy. We are very grateful to Dr. Panov and Prof.
Miller for making these programs available to us.
To submit your abstract electronically, you must download the
instructions. To accomplish this, do one of the following:
* Access the PRAHA2000 WWW site at
http://www.chem.uni-wuppertal.de/conference/ and follow the
menu to electronic abstract submission instructions, or
* Access our anonymous ftp server at praha.jh-inst.cas.cz
(or ftp.uni-wuppertal.de) and download the file submit, or
* Send an email to [log in to unmask]
The email should contain only the subject line:
EAS Instructions.
When you have completed your electronic abstract, just email it to our test
address for viewing or to the above email address for actual submission.
Upon receipt, your document will be processed by a LaTeX-2e compiler
and you will automatically receive an email reply indicating either a
successful submission or a problem. If you submit electronically and you
receive confirmation of a successful submission, you need do nothing
more. Once you have successfully submitted your abstract,
DO NOT resubmit it or a "revised" copy electronically.
DO NOT send us an additional paper copy. Either action could result in
your abstract being included twice in the program. Please note that we can
only handle one format for electronic submission. LaTeX was chosen because
of its support by several American professional societies and widespread
use in the worldwide scientific community.
SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS BY PAPER MAIL
You are strongly discouraged from submitting abstracts by paper mail. Please
use the electronic abstract submission facility if at all possible. However
if you must, then submit two printed copies of each abstract to PRAHA2000,
c/o Dr. Stepan Urban, J.Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry,
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Dolejskova 3, CZ-18223 Praha 8,
Czech Republic, before May 1st 2000.
You can give your contribution as a poster (default) or as a talk. If
you prefer a talk, please write the word "TALK" in the lower left-hand
corner of the page (i.e., outside the area that will be reproduced
photographically) together with the number of minutes required
(max. 15').
A correct reproduction of your abstract requires that the rules in this
paragraph be followed:
* Each abstract should be typed on a single sheet of A4 (210 x 297 mm)
or letter size (8.5 x 11") paper.
* The typed area should not exceed 150 x 237 mm as indicated on the model
abstracts. Anything outside this area will be cut off.
* The typed area should be centered on the page so that the margins are
at least 30 mm wide.
* The quality of the typing should be sufficient for photographic reproduction.
* Each abstract should be headed by the title of the communication
together with the names, affiliations, and mailing addresses of the authors.
* Names of authors who will be present at the conference should
be underlined.
We would like the abstracts in the conference book to be of uniform
appearance. Hence we would much appreciate it if you would use 12 pts Roman
or Times New Roman font with a line spacing of 1.5, set the abstract
title in bold capitals, the authors' names in small capitals,
and the affiliations and addresses in
italics.
Owing to the limited time available for contributed talks, we shall
probably not be able to grant all applications for oral presentations,
and we may find it necessary to shorten some contributed talks. If we must
shorten your talk, or turn it into a poster, we will inform you about this
as soon as possible.
PRAHA2000 Prizes
----------------
At the meeting, PRAHA2000 Prizes will be awarded for the best student
contributions.
The prize will consist of a diploma and the recipients will be given
a selection of books.
In order to be eligible for a PRAHA2000 Prize, a student must
* be primary (first) author of the work being presented;
* for talks: be the actual presenter of the talk;
* for posters: assume the sole responsibility for the presentation
during the entire session, and
* be working for a Ph.D. or having completed it within the last 12 months
(at the time of the meeting).
If a student wishes to compete for the PRAHA2000 Prize, he or she should
indicate this in the comment area of the abstract (due by May 1st, 2000)
for the talk or poster to be judged, if this abstract is submitted
electronically. The research supervisor should then send a letter
(to PRAHA2000, c/o Dr. Stepan Urban, J.Heyrovsky Institute of Physical
Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Dolejskova 3,
CZ-18223 Praha 8, Czech Republic) certifying that the
student meets all of the above requirements. The letter of
certification should mention the unique identification
(in the form "pnnn", where "nnn" is a three-digit number) assigned to the
abstract by the electronic abstract submission software.
The letter of certification is not a nomination letter and will not be
considered by the prize judges. If the abstract is submitted by paper mail,
the letter of certification should accompany it.
Accommodation
-------------
Reservation of accommodation should be made before May 1st 2000
(See the registration form). Single and double rooms are available in
student dormitories within easy walking distance of the conference site.
For participants who prefer to stay in hotels, we will attempt to provide
comfortable rooms. However, the hotels may be located some distance from the
conference site. In hotels of category ***, the rooms have
telephones, TV sets, private bathrooms and toilets.
Meals will be available at the student cafeteria for euro 12 per day.
