Contributions

Applications are invited for the above International Conference. Any
density functional studies relevant to materials science may be
proposed, whether on three-dimensional materials (e.g. emiconductors and
metallic alloys), or on low-dimensional systems (e.g. polymers or 2D
electron gases in heterojunctions). Calculations on medium- or
large-sized clusters will also be considered, if they clearly throw
light on the understanding of bulk  or surface properties of materials.

The following scientists havealready  accepted the invitation to
lecture:
N.W. Ashcroft  (Cornell University, Ithaca, U.S.A.)
G.B. Bachelet (University of Rome, Italy)
A. Baldereschi (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne,
Switzerland)
R. Car (Princeton University, U.S.A.)
T.C. Collins (Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, U.S.A.)
J.T. Devreese (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
R.W. Godby (University of York, U.K.)
E.K.U. Gross (University of Wurzburg, Germany)
O. Gunnarsson (Max-Planck Institute, Stuttgart, Germany)
J. Krieger (Brooklyn College of CUNY, U.S.A.)
J. Ladik (University of Erlangen, Germany)
M. Levy (Tulane University, U.S.A.)
S. Louie (University of California, Berkeley, U.S.A.)
N.H. March (University of Oxford, U.K. - presently at: University of
Antwerp, Belgium)
J.L. Martins (INESC, Lisbon, Portugal)
J. Mintmire (Naval Research Laboratories, Washington, U.S.A.)
M. Payne (University of Cambridge, U.K.)

J.P. Perdew (Tulane University, New Orleans, U.S.A.)
G. Straub (Los Alamos National Laboratory, U.S.A.)
D. Wallace (Los Alamos National Laboratory, U.S.A.)

Persons whose applications are accepted will be encouraged to offer one
hour poster presentations during the meeting.

All participants (maximum 150), except students, are required to pay a
registration fee of 250 EURO/$ (10000 BEF), which gives entitlement to
conference documentation and proceedings, coffee and lunch,
transportation to lecture hall and social events.
The student fee is 125 EURO/$ (5000 BEF). A limited number of grants
will be available.
