1ST CIRCULAR: SEPTEMBER 1999
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.
Note also that the conference "EUCMOS XXV: 25th European Congress on
Molecular Spectroscopy" will take place in Coimbra, Portugal, from
August 27 to September 1, 2000, that is during the week before
PRAHA2000. Further information is available from
http://qui.uc.pt/~rfausto/eucmos_xxv/
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 12 invited lectures. At present, the following invited
speakers have agreed to give talks:
DIONISIO BERMEJO
THOMAS GIESEN
MICHEL HERMAN
UFFE GRAAE JORGENSEN
KEVIN K. LEHMANN
THOMAS R. RIZZO
WILLIAM C. STWALLEY
KEIICHI TANAKA
VLADIMIR G. TYUTEREV
Contributions, which will be presented partly as posters and partly as
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.
Accommodation:
--------------
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 rooms (see
attached preregistration form). However, these hotels may be located
some distance from the conference site. Meals will be available at
the student cafeteria. During the conference there will be a reception,
a chamber concert, excursions for accompanying persons, etc.
2nd circular: February 2000.

3rd circular with meeting information: June 2000.
--------------------------------------
Fees:
-----
We estimate that the total cost of participation will be 360 Euro
(conference fee 180 Euro, accommodation 120 Euro, and meals 60 Euro),
with some reduction for students. For estimated accommodation rates,
see the attached preregistration form. More precise information will
be given in the second circular.
WWW home page:
--------------
The conference has a home page on the World Wide Web with URL
http://www.chem.uni-wuppertal.de/conference/
This page will be used to provide up-to-date information.
ftp server:
-----------
The conference has ftp servers at
ftp.uni-wuppertal.de
and at
praha.jh-inst.cas.cz
Use "ftp" or "anonymous" as user id and enter your complete e-mail
address as password. The conference files are in the directory
pub/praha2k. The ASCII file read.me gives a list of the available files
and describes their contents.
Preregistration:
----------------
You should preregister (i.e., signal your intent to participate in the
conference and/or request the second circular) before January 1st 2000.
We would much prefer you to use the fill-out-form of our WWW home page
for preregistration. This is not only convenient for you, it also
represents by far the easiest way for us to process your data.
If for some reason you cannot use the WWW fill-out-form, you should
use the ASCII version of the preregistration form attached at the end
of this file. After separating it from the rest of the file, you can
fill it out with an editor and e-mail it to:

You can of course also print out the ASCII form, fill it out and send it
by paper mail to
