"Synchrotrons, Accelerators and Laboratory Astrophysics"


 


(Updated:28th June 2000)

 
All sessions will take place in the Physics Auditorium at the Institute of Physicsand Astronomy at the University of Aarhus, Denmark.

The conference dinner will be held at Malling Kro on Thursday 31st August. A coach has been arranged to take participants to the dinner and will leave the University at 19:00, and will stop outside the Plaza Hotel at 19:10.
