2ND CIRCULAR: MARCH 2006
The conference will be held in Prague-Dejvice [close to Vitezne Namesti
with the Metro (subway/underground) station Dejvicka], in university
campus buildings of the Institute of Chemical Technology and the Czech
Technical University. The local organization will be undertaken in a
collaboration between the Institute of Chemical Technology
(http://www.vscht.cz/homepage/english/main), the Academy of Sciences of the
Czech Republic (represented by the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical
Chemistry and the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry),
the Czech Technical University, the Charles University, and the
Czechoslovak Spectroscopic Society.
Please note that the meeting starts on a Tuesday and ends on a Saturday.
This revolutionary new conference concept will typically have you
arrive in Prague on Monday, August 28 in the afternoon/evening.
The meeting begins on Tuesday, August 29 in the morning and ends
on Saturday, September 2 at lunchtime.
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.
Scientific program:
-------------------
There will be 11 invited lectures by:

contributed lectures, 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,
combustion science, remote sensing, etc.
Abstracts
---------
Abstracts can be submitted electronically after April 15, 2006.
You will receive details concerning Electronic Abstract Submission.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is June 9th 2006
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 PRAHA2006 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
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.
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.
SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS BY PAPER MAIL OR
ELECTRONICALLY AS A MS-WORD FILE
-------------------------------------
(for this service, we charge 3 EUR/abstract).
You are strongly discouraged from submitting abstracts by paper mail or
as MS-WORD files. Please use the electronic abstract submission (EAS)
facility if at all possible. However if you must, then submit an MS-Word
file as an attachment to an e-mail to [log in to unmask] or, if there
really is no nother possibility, send two printed copies of each abstract to
PRAHA2006,
c/o Prof. Stepan Urban
J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry,
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic,
Dolejskova 3, CZ-182 23 Praha 8,
Czech Republic,
before June 9th 2006.
If you submit your abstract on paper or electronically as a WORD file,
it can only be reproduced correctly if you follow the rules in this
paragraph:
* 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.
PRAHA2006 Pliva Prizes
----------------------
At the meeting, PRAHA2006 Pliva Prizes will be awarded for the best student
poster contributions.
The prizes will consist of a diploma and the recipients will be given
a collectionselection of spectroscopic books.
In order to be eligible for a PRAHA2006 Pliva Prize, a student must
* be the primary (first) author of the work being presented;
( * for talks: be the actual presenter of the talk; do we want this????)
* 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 PRAHA2006 Pliva Prize,
she or he should indicate this by the word "Pliva" in the "\comment"
field of the EAS submission (due by June 9th 2006)
for the talk or poster to be judged, if this abstract is submitted
electronically. The research supervisor should send a letter
(to PRAHA2006, c/o Prof. Per Jensen, FB C - Theoretische Chemie,
Bergische Universitaet Wuppertal, Gaussstrasse 20, D-42097 Wuppertal,
Germany) 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 mention its title and authors.

-------------
Reservation of accommodation should be made before June 9th 2006
