First Circular

I want to devote the 2003 international school on nuclear physics in Erice in 14 months to the topic "Heavy Ion Reactions from Nuclear to Quark Matter". It seems to me a very timely subject for the Erice School on Nuclear Physics in 2003. I am sending you a preliminary program of the school and the first questionnaire. If you have colleagues or collaborators who are interested to participate in the school, please, just copy the first questionnaire and give it to them or forward the e-mail.

I naturally hope that you can participate. Please, indicate on the first questionnaire if you want to have further information, or if you already know that you are participating or if you even want to give a seminar.

The fee for food and lodging for the time from September 16th till September 24th is 800 EURO. The European Physical Society makes a few fellowships available, which go mostly to young scientists form Eastern European countries. To receive such a fellowship you must apply with the form Application for an EPS Scholarship added below to:

Please, send also a copy of this application to me ( erice2003@uni-tuebingen.de ).

Applicants are urged to fill out the first questionnaire and to send it via e-mail to:

If you receive this circular by normal mail, you can inform us by e-mail and we shall send you then an e-mail version of the questionnaire in order to speed up the processing of your application. Invited lecturers should also return the questionnaire, so that they will get all further information. Only in case you have no e-mail facility, you should return the questionnaire by regular mail to:

With best regards,
Sincerely yours
