From ZSYAMP01@EBCESCA1.bitnet Thu Mar 18 17:43:29 1993 Message-Id: <199303182143.AA07968@oscsunb.ccl.net> Date: Thu, 18 Mar 93 10:40:57 CET From: ZSYAMP01%EBCESCA1@OHSTVMA.ACS.OHIO-STATE.EDU Subject: First Girona Seminar on Molecular Similarity To: chemistry@ccl.net First "Girona" Seminar on Molecular Similarity This letter is an invitation to participate and contribute to the First "Girona" Seminar on Molecular Similarity, that will be held during July 8 - 10, 1993 in Girona, Spain. With this Seminar we want to start a new field/site of collaboration between researchers of all around Europe, interested in Molecular Similarity. Girona is an old carolingian city, famous for its history, where Iberian, Roman, Jewish and Medieval remnants are still alive, as well as for its beautiful surroundings: beaches, mountains and plains, situated at few minutes by car. It is located 60 Km from the French border and 100 km from Barcelona. You can easily reach the city through Barcelona airport, directly by train or by highway. Although our desire would be to make it free for all the assistants, we cannot assure if we will have enough local help, so please ask your own Institutions for travel and hotel expenses. The features of the "Girona" Seminar will be: a) Young research lecturers are welcome. b) The language will be English. c) No Seminar reports will be published. d) The lecturer(s) affiliation, the lecture title and an abstract, written in a DIN A4 sheet are compulsive. e) Preliminary and tentative results are encouraged. Upon receiving the filled enclosed form and the abstract, we will keep you informed about the Seminar final details. If you know anyone who could be interested in coming, please give us his affiliation and address, so we can invite him to participate. Looking forward to hearing from you Prof. R.
