                              EUROPEAN RESEARCH CONFERENCE on

                CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS :
                                             FULLERENES IN CONTEXT
                                    Espinho, Portugal, 6-11 September 1997

Chairman: P.W. Fowler (Exeter)
Vice-Chairman: F. Zerbetto ( Bologna)

SPEAKERS WILL PROVISIONALLY INCLUDE:
W. Andreoni (Zurich), F. Kajzar (Gif sur Yvette), K. Prassides (Sussex), P. Bernier (Montpellier), 
H. Kroto (Sussex), M. Prato (Trieste), E. Campbell (Berlin), H. Kuzmany (Vienna),
P. Rudolf (Namur), T. Ebbesen (Strasbourg), D. Leigh (Manchester), J.F. Stoddart (Birmingham), 
J. Fischer (Pennsylvania), F. Negri (Bologna), R. Taylor (Sussex), A. Hirsch (Erlangen),
G. Orlandi (Bologna), F. Wudl (Santa Barbara)

SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE
The aim of this conference is to build a bridge between chemists and physicists working in the recently established field of fullerene research and interested scientists in the more traditional disciplines of organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, polymer science and materials science. Speakers from across the whole range of disciplines will survey chemical, physical, spectroscopic and theoretical aspects of their latest research and will assess the potential of fullerenes, tubes and related structures as building blocks for chemical functionalisation, supramolecular assembly, materials applications and devices.

The conference is open to researchers world-wide, whether from industry or academia. Participation will be limited to 100. The emphasis will be on discussion about new developments. A poster session will also take place. The Registration Fee covers full board and lodging. Grants will be available for younger scientists, in particular those from less favoured regions in Europe.

Deadline for applications: 30 April 1997
