Now the weather in Dubna is fine and comfortable. The sky is clear and bright blue. Smog disappeared absolutely and visibility is very good. The wildfires in Dubna environs are stopped completely. The temperature is about 29 - 32 C (day)/ 16-20 C (night) and light breeze.

About the situation in Dubna

The local organizing committee and the International Advisory Board of the school are closely following the developments of the situation with wildfires and possible health hazards in the Moscow region, in particular concerning Dubna, 120 km north of Moscow. They agree that a decision about a possible shift, cancellation or the running as planned of the conference (and summer school) shall be taken not before this weekend in order to be able to make a safer prognosis. We are hoping very much that school and conference can be performed as planned, with some precautions accounting for the heat and air pollusion situation. We will inform you in time.
