First Girona Seminar on Molecular Similarity
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. Carbo
