VII Research Workshop
Nucleation Theory and Applications

Dubna, Russia, April 4 - 28, 2003

• The research and scientific communication meeting will be held in Dubna, April 2003, 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 April 12 (arrival), till April, 20 (departure) 2003. Work on common projects under way (04. 04. - 28. 04. 2003) by special arrangement.
• Mutual research visits of the participants in the course of the year (in dependence on financial funds available).

The time for the speakers in their lectures is - if not specified otherwise - 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 and to have some order in anticipating the program, commonly either 1 hour or 30 minutes are taken as a rough estimate for the duration of one lecture. Thus, changes in the schedule are possible at any time. The preliminary program of the workshop is given below. Slight changes may occur in due course but, more or less, we will proceed as announced here.

!!!!! The presenting authors are asked to submit any wishes concerning possible slight changes of title or duration of their lectures till March 20, 2003. !!!!!

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