SEMINAR ON THERMODYNAMICS OF MATERIALS

First Announcement and Call for Papers

INVITATION

You are cordially invited to attend Seminar on Thermodynamics of Materials, which will be held on 19 November 2001 in the Institute of Physics of Materials, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Brno.

SCOPE

This Symposium will offer an opportunity to present results of fundamental and applied research in the field of thermodynamics and phase diagram calculations as well as to discuss their applications to different areas of research. Two main topics will be discussed: Experiments in the field of thermodynamics and Calculations.

PROGRAMME

The scientific programme will include plenary lectures by invited speakers and poster session. "Full-text" book of contributions will be issued.
