The biennial workshop on Amorphous and Nanostructured Magnetic Materials will be held in September 15-17, 2003 in Iasi. Iasi is the most important political, economic and cultural centre of Moldavia and one of the oldest cities in Romania. 

Iasi is located in North-East of Romania. Major events in the political and cultural history of Moldavia are connected with the name of the city of Iasi. 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, Romania's first capital (from 1859-1862) and 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 Alexandru Ioan Cuza. 

Iasi can be reached by plane, by train or by car from Bucharest, which is about 500 km far.
