Invitation to EPDIC IX and Size-Strain Conferences

EUROPEAN POWDER DIFFRACTION CONFERENCE
http://www.xray.cz/epdic

will take place from September 2 to September 5 2004 in Prague, Czech  
Republic.

It will be preceded by Size-Strain workshop devoted to study
of real structure of materials by powder XRD - from August 31 to  
September 2.


DEADLINES:

Two important deadlines are on APRIL 30.

1. Deadline for requests for financial assistance (incl. c.v., abstract  
of
contribution)
We have financial support from the IUCr for young students (under 30,  
in maximum

35).

2. Deadline for applications for oral contributions.
They must be accompanied by abstracts. This will be basic material for  
the
programme committee. If necessary, the abstracts may be modified later  
on before

The programme of microsymposia should be put together basically during  
May.
Late contributions can be accepted for oral presentation only  
exceptionally.

Deadline for orders of discounted accommodation is on May 31.
Deadline for registration at the lowest fee is on June 15.
Deadline for abstract submission is June 30.

REGISTRATION
Registration procedure consists of several steps.
The first one is filling the personal form.
