Mid Term Evaluation Meeting COST Action D32

COST ACTION D32
Chemistry in High-Energy Microenvironments
JUNE 7 th - 9 th 2006
Acronym MTEM D32

We kindly ask particpants of the meeting to register on-line.
Participants with oral presentations and posters are kindly requested to register their abstracts
This will help:
- with organisation of the meeting and planning the events
- to disseminate our results to the broad public,
- to publish the book of abstracts.

Programme

The aim of the event is to:

  • Review the progress made within our action and allow the evaluators to provide a Mid Term Evaluatiin report
  • Provide scientific contact between COST D32 scientists and attendees at the European Sonochemistry Society Meeting (ESS 10), held in the early part of the week.

The procedure is for D32 Working Group Coordinators (or stand-ins) to give 30-minute presentations (25 minutes plus questions) on the outcomes to date of Working Group activities, concentrating on strategic aspects, while there will be poster sessions involving a proportion of laboratories from each Working Group that give scientific detail of typical specific activities (from joint publications, STSMs etc).

Abstracts of posters and oral presentations must be registered on line under adress http://science24.com/event/cost-d32/.
The abstracts will be published on-line after acceptance by the Meeting Chairman
