DETAILED PROGRAMME

 Venue

The one-day seminar will be held in Iasi, the most important political, economic and cultural centre of Moldavia and one of the oldest cities in Romania, located at about 400 km north-east of Bucharest. The city of Iasi is situated in the North-East of Romania. Major events in the political and cultural history of Moldavia are connected with the name of this city. Iasi, "the city of great loves", represents a symbol of Romanian history about which Nicolae lorga rightly said "there should be no Romanian who does not know it". Iasi was the capital of the historic Country of Moldova and was Romania's first capital (from 1859-1862). Iasi continued to be the most important cultural centre of the country even after Bucharest became the capital of Romania in 1862. It is in Iasi that the first Romanian university was founded in 1860 during the reign of Al.I. Cuza.

 Aims and Objectives

The seminar is addressed to the scientific community working on magnetic nanomaterials in the field of preparation, characterization, materials research and new ‘high-tech’ applications, covering the most recent developments in these fields. As a forum for novel ideas, the seminar is intended to promote contacts between fundamental research and technological needs for applications. Discussions are aimed also in finding common scientific interests as a base for cooperation and proposals for projects either at the national or European level.

 Scientific Program

The scientific program of the seminar includes invited lectures presented by well-qualified speakers to provide a through inside-view in the key fields of the magnetic nanomaterials and contributed papers. There will be no parallel sessions, and a poster session will be organized during all seminar day with discussions after the oral sessions. In conjunction, a Workshop “Magnetoelastic Materials for Sensing Applications & Innovative Vibration Transducer Systems” will be organized on 28^th of September 2004.

 Topics

Contributions are welcome on the following topics:

(1)    Preparation and processing

(2)    Structure characterization

(3)    Physical and chemical properties

(4)    Magnetic properties

(5)    Applications

 Presentations & Proceedings

The Workshop language will be English. The invited speakers and contributors are invited to submit an abstract (maximum one A4 page), which will appear in the Abstract Book together with the abstracts of the contributions to be presented at the Workshop on September 28^th, 2004. The Abstract Book will be delivered to all participants. The Workshop Proceedings will be published on the authors’ request.

Social Programme

A get-together party will be organized on Monday, September 27th, 2004, and Tuesday evening we will invite all our guests to dinner in a special location.

Wednesday morning, we plan a scientific visit in the institute and in the afternoon a visit trip to the most important cultural sights in Iasi.

 Registration Information

Participants are asked to submit their interest to participate to the seminar via email (hchiriac@phys-iasi.ro).

The registration fee for contributors is 300.000 ROL and includes abstracts and conference programme booklet, get-together party and coffee breaks.

The dinner fee on September 28 will be paid on-site by the interested contributors.
