Dear Colleagues:
Please excuse this somewhat impersonal way of communicating with you. Owing to
the deadline involved, we want to send this out quickly to each one of you;
since there are close to 400 persons currently registered on the iCEER-website,
it would take too long to send a personalized e-mail to each of you.
Nevertheless, please rest assured that we look forward to welcoming you
personally to Czech Republic during June 27-30, 2004 at iCEER-2004.
As
of today, we have received 316 abstracts from 386 participants in 55 countries.
To see summaries of listing of abstracts as of a few days ago, please visit:

access to the information through the website.
