2ND CIRCULAR: MARCH 2002
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 in collaboration with the Ioannes Marcus Marci
Spectroscopic Society and The Charles University.
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.
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.

All the lecture titles are preliminary.
Contributions, which will be presented as posters or in some cases as
contributed lectures (if selected by the organizing committee), are
invited in the fields of:
* Observation, measurement, and analysis of high resolution
rotational, vibrational, or electronic spectra of molecules
(radicals, ions, complexes, clusters, ...) in the gas phase or in
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
---------
Abstracts can be submitted electronically from March 26th 2002.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is June 1st 2002.
ELECTRONIC ABSTRACT SUBMISSION (EAS)
Because we want to make the abstracts available on the conference
homepage, we need all of them to be submitted electronically into
the Electronic Abstract Submission (EAS) system. For this 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, to whom we are very grateful for making these
programs available to us. However, if an electronic submission is
not possible for you, please contact the organizers to arrange an
alternative way of submission.
Before submitting your abstract electronically, we recommend that you
download the instructions. To accomplish this, do one of the following:
* Access the PRAHA2002 WWW site at
http://www.chem.uni-wuppertal.de/conference/ and follow the
menu to the electronic abstract submission instructions, or
* Access our anonymous ftp server at ftp.uni-wuppertal.de
and download the file "submit", or
* Send an empty email to [log in to unmask]
with the subject: EAS Instructions
When you have completed your electronic abstract, email it to our
test address for previewing or to the above email address for final
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 your abstract electronically and you receive confirmation of
a successful submission, you do not need to do anything else.
Please note that we can handle only 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.
You can present your contribution as a poster (default) or as a talk. If
you prefer a talk, please make the appropriate indication in the file
submitted to EAS (see the "\category" and "\timereq" commands in the
Instructions for EAS on our conference homepage). Duration of
contributed talks is limited to 15 min. Owing to the limited time
available for contributed talks, we may not be able to grant all
applications for oral presentations or we may find it necessary to
shorten some contributed talks. If we have to shorten your talk or
turn it into a poster, we will inform you about this as soon as possible.
PRAHA2002 Pliva Prizes
----------------------
At the meeting, PRAHA2002 Pliva Prizes will be awarded for the best student
contributions.
The prizes will consist of a diploma and the recipients will be given
a selection of books.
In order to be eligible for a PRAHA02 Pliva Prize, a student must
* be the 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 students wish to compete with their poster for the PRAHA2002 Pliva Prize,
she or he should indicate this by the word "Pliva" in the "\comment"
field of the EAS submission (due by June 1, 2002)
for the talk or poster to be judged, if this abstract is submitted
electronically. The research supervisor should then send a letter
(to PRAHA02, 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.
