Invitation to EPDIC IX and Size-Strain Conferences

EUROPEAN POWDER DIFFRACTION CONFERENCE
http://www.xray.cz/epdic

will take place from September 2 to September 5 2004 in Prague, Czech Republic.

It will be preceded by Size-Strain workshop devoted to study
of real structure of materials by powder XRD - from August 31 to September 2.


DEADLINES:

Two important deadlines are on APRIL 30.

1. Deadline for requests for financial assistance (incl. c.v., abstract of contribution)
We have financial support from the IUCr for young students (under 30, in maximum
