Hi everyone,

Holding of the 2nd Young Members NCT Meeting in June 9-14 depends
now on the pending decisions of our sponsors. For sponsors it would be
very important to know as soon as possible who all are going to attend the
meeting. We are willing to arrange the meeting also for small number of
participants.

The scientific programme, accomodation and the cruising trip between
Stockholm and Helsinki including meals will be sponsored. There might be
also possibility for some travel grants for those whom it's totally
impossible to participate without travel grant. If you are in that
position, please let me know.

Please, confirm your willingness to participate the meeting as soon as
possible. In addition to your name, let me know your institute, field of
research and subject of your report at the meeting. Please, send it latest
on Friday evening May 11 for me (hanna.bjugg@vtt.fi). The holding of the
meeting will be confirmed to you on Tuesday May 15.

Looking forward to see you in June,
Hanna Bjugg
