EIPAM 1 Meeting Tuesday 19th and Wednesday
20th April 2005 First Workshop of the ESF Programme Electron Induced Processing at the Molecular Level (EIPAM) Programme | List of Participants | Accommodation Welcome to this the first workshop of the ESF Programme on Electron Induced Processing at the Molecular Level (EIPAM). The Programme has been active since July 2004 with the first EIPAM Fellows being appointed in September and the first short exchange visits having taken place. However this workshop is the first opportunity to bring together the major partners involved in the programme to discuss the scientific policy of the programme (the initial meeting of the Steering group held in Lyons in June 2004 being a purely administrative action). Each of the main partners will present a review of their research and discuss its future direction. The meeting will also provide the opportunity for discussing which EU research groups that would benefit from being invited to participate in the programme. The Workshop is arranged in sessions which reflect the scope of the programme including both experimental and theoretical research. The meeting will conclude with my own Professorial inaugural lecture to which I am delighted to welcome colleagues and friends ! The meeting will also include the Second meeting of the Steering Committee at which our ESF co-ordinator Ms Chantal Durant will be present to discuss administrative arrangements and budgetary issues. Scientific Summary Currently several European groups are at the forefront of such pioneering research but, in contrast to the USA and Japan, the European research effort is fragmented and coordination is rudimentary or absent. The present ESF programme Electron Induced Processing at the Molecular Level (EIPAM) has been designed to bring together Europe´s leading experimental and theoretical groups in a large-scale, multidisciplinary and collaborative research programme that will both maintain its international excellence and establish Europe as the centre for investigations of molecular control through electron processing with direct relevance in many areas from the basic sciences to industrial applications.
