INSAP III will be held at the Hotel La Torre in Mondello, Palermo, Italy, from 31 December 2000 to 6 January 2001.
Participation will be limited to about 120 attendees, including a broad range of scholars and students. Most of
those attending will be expected to present original studies and research results, but some will be admitted as
"observers" who are expected to participate otherwise fully in the meeting.
Participation will be by invitation only after submission of the application form, either by E-mail or by regular
postal service, to Prof. Raymond E. White whose E-mail address is rwhite@as.arizona.edu; his postal address is:
Steward Observatory, 933 N. Cherry Ave., The University of Arizona, TUCSON, AZ 85721-0065, USA. The abstract of
the intended presentation, as descriptive of that presentation as might be possible right now, must be submitted
with the application.
Applications for oral presentations at the conference will be accepted until 15 October 2000.
Applications from observers or for poster presentation will be considered until 15 December 2000; applications
to make presentations received after 15 October 2000 will be considered as applications for poster presentations
automatically.
There will be sufficient time in our conference week for approximately 50-60 oral presentations, which means there
will be about 40-50 poster presentations. NOTE: posters are not "second-class" presentations but, at
past conferences, have proven to be a particularly effective way to present results and to interact with other
attendees. Time will be set aside for "poster sessions" with no competing talks or other events.
Once applicants have been notified of the acceptance of their submission by Prof. Raymond White, they will be contacted
by Donata Randazzo or Laura Daricello, the Conference Secretaries, and given instructions on how to register and
make the hotel reservation.
REGISTRATION: The registration activity at the reduced fee of Lit. 325.000 ends on 15 November 2000; after that
date, all applicants will be assessed the full registration fee, i.e. Lit. 400.000.
HOTEL BOOKING: To be assured of a hotel room at the conference rates, requests for hotel reservations must be received
no later than 15 November 2000.
PROGRAMME: To be included in the program book, applications and abstracts must be received no later than 15 October
2000. In order to prepare a final program that is as complete and accurate as possible, we ask all poster presenters
and observers to have their materials into the Conference's Local Organizing Committee no later than 15 December
2000.
