Participants must apply by 15 August 1996 on the application form, a PostScript version of which appears here. Please print it on your PostScript printer. Alternatively, forms may be obtained from Rex Godby (e-mail rwg3@york.ac.uk). There will be a small conference fee of £39 (approx. ECU48), payment of which must accompany the form. Payment cannot be accepted at the workshop itself. Post-deadline registrations may be accepted subject to availability and payment of an supplementary fee. The conference fee will be used primarily to support 3 invited speakers. Places at the workshop are limited in number.
Through the generosity of the Ecole, around 10 bursaries of approximately FF1500 (approx. ECU230) will be available to provide partial support of travel, conference fee and/or accommodation costs. Application forms from those applying for bursaries must be received by 22 July. Bursaries are intended for graduate students, or others, who are presenting papers and have very limited funds available for travel to workshops of this sort. Applicants should enclose a supporting letter signed by a senior member of their research group explaining why bursary support is appropriate.
Contributed papers are welcome, and may be selected for oral or poster presentation. There will be 3 invited speakers, so most of the talks will be contributed. The application form will request details of any contributed paper.
A limited number of rooms (with private bathroom) are available in the Ecole Polytechnique, at a cost of approximately FF120 per night per person. Breakfast is available and should be paid for separately. These rooms must be reserved through the workshop organiser, Rex Godby, by completing the relevant section of the application form, and payment should be made to the Ecole during the workshop. Rooms will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Application by 22 July is strongly recommended. Some double rooms (at FF160 per night) may also be available.
The Ecole Polytechnique
hotel is between the symbol [9] (Cour Ferrie) and the word "Alimentation"
near the centre of the large EP map (http://www.polytechnique.fr/edu/PlanToBeSend1.JPG).
If in doubt, please e-mail Lucia Reining (reining@monet.polytechnique.fr),
stating your fax number, and ask her to fax you a copy of the
map with the hotel marked. The reception is open from 8:30 to
11:30 and from 12:30 to 16:45 Monday to Friday and your key can
be obtained there. (If you anticipate arriving after 16:45 but
before 18:00, the person in charge of the hotel is willing to
remain open until you arrive, if you notify Lucia Reining at least
24-48 hours in advance.) Outside those hours the keys are with
the fire brigade (marked SSI [10] [Service Sécurité
Incendie] on the EP map; also called "Salle des permanences").
Payment should be made to the hotel reception during the workshop.
Others may wish to stay in central Paris and commute out on the RER (see below). The City of Paris official list of hotels is here. Many hotels in the 5th arrondissement are convenient for the RER. It is also possible to view those hotels which are considered close to the RER Luxembourg and St. Michel stations.
The workshop registrations and sessions will take place in the Laboratoire des solides irradiés (SESI on the laboratory plan). Room PC39 will be used for registration, discussions and posters, Room PC37 for the oral sessions, and DEA33 (from Thursday afternoon) for Internet access.
The Ecole Polytechnique, which is to the south-west of Paris, may be reached conveniently using RER Line B to Lozère station (journey time from central Paris approx. 50 minutes, followed by a steep 20-minute walk through a wood which is unlit at night), or to Massy-Palaiseau or Palaiseau-Villebon stations at specified times when a free bus service operates (Monday-Friday only). If returning to the campus from central Paris at night, a taxi from the Orsay-Ville RER station is recommended.
Further details of the Ecole Polytechnique campus, and travel details from central Paris and elsewhere, are provided by the Ecole Polytechnique here.
Urgent messages for workshop participants may be left on Lucia Reining's answering machine (+33 1 69333691) or fax machine (+33 1 69333022).
Please contact Rex Godby (e-mail rwg3@york.ac.uk) about any organisational matters, or Lucia Reining (e-mail reining@monet.polytechnique.fr) for local information.
