Call for papers for the 5th Size-Strain Conference

Dear Colleagues,

the "5th Size-Strain Conference" will take place at the Congress Centre in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, in the time period October 7-9 2007 (have a look at the conference homepage www.mf.mpg.de/ss-v for further information).

This conference on "the diffraction analysis of the microstructure of matter" forms a focal point of presentation and discussion of scientific developments in this multidisciplinary field of great importance to materials scientists, solid state physicists and chemists, and the like.

You are all invited to participate in the Conference. Abstracts of intended contributions should be submitted as attachments to the conference e-mail address

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The deadline for abstract submission is the 31st of March.

The abstracts should be prepared using Microsoft Word, available at the above-mentioned web site.

Please indicate in your e-mail if you would prefer an oral or a poster presentation and provide us with your full affiliation. Your e-mail address will be used for further communication.

For your information, a provisional and incomplete list of confirmed (status of today) keynote and invited lectures has been included at the bottom of this e-mail.

Hoping to see you in Garmisch-Partenkirchen,

Andreas Leineweber
