International Conference on the Applications of the Mössbauer Effect (ICAME 2015);
13 - 18 September 2015, Hamburg, Germany
Dear colleague,
it is our pleasure to announce the International Conference on the Applications of the Mössbauer Effect (ICAME 2015) be held in the City of Hamburg, Germany, from Sunday 13 September to Friday 18 September 2015. Please visit the conference website for further information:
www.icame2015hamburg.de
The registration and abstract submission is open from 12 December 2014 to 31 March 2015. Contributed talks and posters will be selected on basis of the submitted abstracts.
Please forward this First Circular to colleagues who might be interested to participate in the ICAME 2015 !
Conference venue
The conference will take place in the main building of the University of Hamburg, which is located close to the city centre. In order to recognize the 30th anniversary of nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation, one day of the conference will be held at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY where this method was pioneered by Erich Gerdau and coworkers in 1985. This offers also the possibility to obtain a closer view on research with synchrotron radiation and x-ray lasers at DESY.
Tutorials
There will be pre-conference tutorials on Sunday, 13 September 2015 on various applications of Mössbauer spectroscopy in the natural sciences. The program of the tutorial lectures will be available in January 2015.
