1ST CIRCULAR: NOVEMBER 2003
The conference will be held in Prague-Dejvice [close to Vitezne Namesti
with the Metro (subway/underground) station Dejvicka], in buildings
of the Institute of Chemical Technology and of the Prague Technical
University. The local organization will be undertaken in a
collaboration between the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry
and the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry in the Academy
of Sciences of the Czech Republic, the Institute of Chemical Technology,
the Prague Technical University, the Charles University, and the
Czechoslovak Spectroscopic Society.
Please note that the meeting starts on a Wednesday and ends on a Sunday.
This new conference concept will typically have you arrive in Prague
on Tuesday, September 7 in the afternoon/evening. The meeting begins on
Wednesday, September 8 in the morning and ends on Sunday, September 12
at lunchtime. 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.
Scientific program:
-------------------
There will be 12 invited lectures. At present, the following invited
speakers have agreed to give talks:
SERGEI N. BAGAYEV, Institute of Laser Physics, Novosibirsk, Russia
PETER F. BERNATH, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
JEAN DEMAISON, University of Lille, France
CHRISTIAN JUNGEN, Laboratoire Aime Cotton du CNRS, Orsay, France
FRANK LEWEN, Universitaet zu Koeln, Cologne, Germany
FREDERIC MERKT, ETH Zuerich, Switzerland
MIRJANA MLADENOVIC, Georg-August-Universitaet Goettingen, Germany
HARALD MOELLENDAL, University of Oslo, Norway
JOHN P. SIMONS, Oxford University, U.K.
KOICHI TSUKIYAMA, Tokyo University of Science, Japan
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 near
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.

with some reduction for students. For estimated accommodation rates,
see the attached preregistration form. More precise information will
be given in the second circular with the registration form.
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 an ftp server at
ftp.uni-wuppertal.de
Use "ftp" or "anonymous" as user id and enter your complete e-mail
address as password. The conference files are in the directory
pub/praha04. 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 2004.
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:
[log in to unmask]
You can of course also print out the ASCII form, fill it out and send it
by paper mail to
PRAHA2004, c/o Professor Stepan Urban
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry
Dolejskova 3, CZ-18223 Praha 8, Czech Republic
However please use the WWW fill-out-form if at all possible.
PLEASE NOTE THAT PREREGISTRATION DOES NOT REPLACE REGISTRATION!
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONFERENCE, YOU SHOULD REGISTER USING THE
REGISTRATION FORM THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE TOGETHER WITH THE SECOND
CIRCULAR. THE REGISTRATION FORM MUST BE FILLED IN, SIGNED AND MAILED
OR FAXED TO THE PRAGUE CONFERENCE ADDRESS.
