INVITATION

The organizing Committee cordially invites you to participate 
in the 8th International Symposium on Magnesium which will be 
held at the Rinela Beach Hotel, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, on 
October 5-9, 1997. You will have the opportunity to present 
your most recent work, attend lectures describing the current 
state-of-the-art, discuss and exchange ideas with other 
scientists in a scenic environment by the Mediterranean sea.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

The scientific program will include invited lectures, voluntary 
oral presentations, and posters. The abstracts of all contributions 
will be published in the Book of Abstracts as a supplement to 
Magnesium Research by John Libbey (England), and will be available 
at the Registration Desk.
Mini symposia for specialized topics could also be organized covering 
mostly Plenary Lectures

The scope of the Symposium is to cover all aspects of Magnesium  
Research.
