Minisymposium on CORRELATION IN MESOSCOPIC SYSTEMS 1 - 4 August 2000 Miramare - Trieste, Italy The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) Trieste - Italy, is organising a "Minisymposium on Correlation in Mesoscopic Systems", to be held at the ICTP from 1 to 4 August 2000. This activity will be directed by Professors: B. Altshuler (NEC Research Institute, Princeton - USA) and V. Kravtsov (the Abdus Salam ICTP, Trieste - Italy). The objective of this Minisymposium is to bring together the leading researchers actively working in the field of normal-metal mesoscopic systems and 2D metal-insulator transition in order to discuss the most recent developments and research directions. The topics of the Minisymposium are: Interaction in mesoscopic systems 2D delocalization transition Non-equilibrium mesoscopics Scientists and physicists from all countries that are members of the UN, UNESCO or IAEA can attend the Minisymposium. They should hold a university degree in physics. As this activity will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of that language. The main purpose of the Centre is to help scientists from developing countries to get an educational and technological guidance in the advanced branches of contemporary physics through contacts with leading researchers from developed countries. Graduate students and post-doctoral scientists from developed countries are also encouraged to apply for participation. However, please note that funds are extremely limited. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be covered by the home institutions. Only very limited funds are available for some scientists from developing countries who will be selected by the organisers. Scarcity of funds allows travel to be granted only in truly exceptional cases; therefore every effort should be made by candidates to secure support for their fares from their home country. The closing date for receipt of requests for participation is 31 March 2000. There is no registration fee for attending the Minisymposium.
