Interested candidates should preferably open the web page http://www.chimica.unipd.it/erice, fill the boxes in order to register
by Nov 30, 2006
(date of registration might work as a priority factor);
please, consider seriously the warnings at bottom of that page. Most additional information may be obtained by clicking on FAQ.

Alternatively, they should write (IN ENGLISH) to Paola Spadon on one A4 page or 50 e-mail lines (note the excess material will NOT be read ), specifying:
a. family name, name, age, sex, citizenship;
b. address, phone, fax, e-mail (if locally active);
c. academic position; scientific interests (MAX. FIVE WORDS);
d. (not mandatory) title or abstract of a poster contribution or of a "hot topic" which might be included in the programme. In order to be examined, applications by young researchers or beginners must include a letter of recommendation by a senior scientist and a list of NO MORE THAN FIVE publications related to the scientific content of the meeting (DO NOT send reprints). The letter should specify if financial support is required, and justify the amount.

These data plus 3 (preferably self-adhesive) address labels should be (even e-)mailed by Nov 30, 2006 to Paola Spadon, Executive Secretary, International School of Crystallography.

Each application will be acknowledged. The result of the selection of candidates will be emailed by 15th Jan 2007.

The total fee, inclusive of board and lodging during the course, is 1,200 Euro for European Community residents and the equivalent in hard currency for the remaining ones. In order to reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of the Course, attendants will be selected on the basis of the scientific discipline, publication record and the correspondence between the current research of the applying scientists and the listed topics. Financial support to young applicants (under 35 of age) is conditional on the success of the several applications submitted by the organizing committee to international and national sources. By tradition three times as many applications as there are places are received. Early applications are therefore recommended.
