VI Research Workshop
Nucleation Theory and Applications

Dubna, Russia, April 4 - 28, 2002

• The research and scientific communication meeting will be held in Dubna, April 2002, for a period of one month; hereby the mutual detailed information on the research carried out in the different groups (workshop part) will be covered primarily in the time from Saturday, April 13 (arrival), till Sunday, April 21 (departure) 2002. The workshop will start thus on Sunday, April 14, with a full program.
• Work on common projects under way (04. 04. - 28. 04. 2002) by special arrangement.
• Mutual research visits of the participants in the course of the year (in dependence on financial funds available).
  
  
  
  

Below the preliminary program is given. About eventual wishes concerning final slight changes in the title of the talk, the presenting author, time and/or length of presentation or eventually required corrections, please, inform us till March 25.

The time for the speakers in their lectures is, as usual, not strictly limited to allow a detailed explanation even of details of the research and an extensive discussion. Nevertheless, due to the large number of highly interesting contributions proposed, we have to restrict the length of one lecture including discussion to about one hour ( 10 minutes). Exclusions from this rule are possible by proposal of the presenting author, some of them are already marked in the program. So, note that slight change in the schedule are possible at any time.

The workshop languages are English and Russian. Summaries of the content in the respective alternative language will be given simultaneously.
