School

This autumn school is the third on this topic. The last school, held 1995 in Petzow close to Potsdam/Germany, was organized as "low cost" panel meeting for especially graduate and post-graduate students and other young scientists to present their actual and often unpublished results. Because no proceeding appeared the discussion was very lively and fruitful. Following these experience we planned to continue this type of school in 1997. A "low cost" conference site we found in Smolenice/Slovakia, a romantic castle in the pleasant countryside of the Small Carpathians, kindly provided by the Slovakian Academy of Science. The decision for organizing the school in Eastern Europe was not made by the very low costs for board and lodging only but to give more Eastern Europe young scientist the opportunity to attend the autumn school. On the other hand the conference site, located 40 km north from Bratislava, is very close to Germany and Austria, too. The "how-to-get-there" instructions will be sent to all participants at least three weeks before the conference.
