GENERAL INFORMATION

The next in the series of Prague meetings on Spin Research Programme

"ADVANCED STUDIES INSTITUTE -- SYMMETRIES AND SPIN" (SPIN-Praha-2007)

organized with the support of

hosted by

will be held in Prague, Czech Republic.

The Conference will start by the Registration on Sunday, July 8, 2007 at 17:00 -- 19:00 and will finish on Saturday, July 14, 2007 at about 13:00.

The Registration will take place in the building of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics , V Holesovickach 2, Prague 8, where also all the Sessions will be held (indicated by a red circle on the map).



TOPICS AND SCOPE

Advanced Studies Institute (ASI), SPIN-Praha-2007, is the 23th in the series of International meetings on Spin Research Programme, that began with the first meeting of this series at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, in 1975, and continued after that from 1976 on regular basis at Czech Republic. Prague spin physics meetings cover topics related to symmetry and polarization phenomena in particle and nuclear physics and astrophysics. Characteristic feature of these meetings is:

The Conference will consist of Plenary, Panel discussion and Poster sessions. The theoretical and experimental aspects of the large high priority spin physics experiments, which are going on or are under the preparation at existing accelerators at JINR, CERN, IHEP, DESY, COSY, PSI, BNL, JLAB(CEBAF), GANIL, GSI, RIKEN, RCNP, JParc, JYFL etc. and/or astrophysics projects will be discussed.

Subjects to be covered:

It is expected that many young physicists will attend the Conference. The number of participants will be limited to about 100.

After registration the Programme Committee may contact a proposed speaker and request in addition to the title a short abstract to clarify (if necessary) the content of the proposed talk. In case of insufficient time for presentations the Programme Committee reserves a possibility to propose to some speakers to give their talks as poster presentations.

In the auditoriums there are PC with the streamer which allow to give a power point presentations stored on a CD or a memory stick, as well as an overhead projector.
