INVITATION
The Local Organizing Committee (LOC)
on behalf of International Organizing Committee (IOC), extends a cordial
invitation to participate in the 2nd Asia-Pacific EPR/ESR Symposium which
will take place at the Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China)
from October 31 (Sunday) to November 4 (Thursday), 1999. Continuing
with the spirit of the 1st Symposium, the future Asia-Pacific EPR/ESR Symposia,
although aimed primarily at the Asia-Pacific countries, will be open to
participants
from all over the world.
MAIN
SUBJECT OF THE CONFERENCE
Opportunities & Challenges of
the EPR/ESR Developing?
SCOPE
OF THE CONFERENCE
"Opportunities & Challenges
of the EPR/ESR Developing" is the Main Subject of this
Conference. It also is the aim of the 2nd Symposium (APES'99) to discuss
how can we do? So, it would cover all sub-fields of EPR/ESR. Contributions
dealing with any aspects of recent developments in the Theory,
Methodology,
Instrumentation & Experimental Techniques are invited. The
focus will be on recent applications of the EPR/ESR spectroscopy, including
conventional
EPR/ESR, high frequency and high field EPR, ENDOR, ESEEM, ELDOR, MRI, CIDEP,
ODMR, OPEPR, etc.

VENUE
In September 1998, Zhejiang University,
Hangzhou
University, Zhejiang Agricultural University and
Zhejiang
Medical University, all located in the garden city of Hangzhou,
merged into one to form the New Zhejiang University.
Approved by the State Council, the founding of the
New Zhejiang University
will be a significant move in the reform and development of China's higher
education. The four Universities all originated from the same ancestry,
the Qiushi Academy, which was founded a century ago (1897) as one
of the earliest institutions of higher learning in China.
Now, there are 30,000 full-time students
in the New Zhejiang University, among which there are 3,500
postgraduates, 1500 doctoral program students and 400 overseas students.
There are 800 professors, 1600 associate professors, 7 academicians of
the Chinese Academy of Science, and 6 academicians of the Chinese Academy
of Engineering. Zhejiang University offers 12 postdoctoral research programs,
124 doctoral programs and 192 postgraduate programs. It also has 13 National
Leading Academic Disciplines, 2 National Engineering Research Center, 9
National Training Bases and Courses Bases, 10 National Laboratories, I
Open Laboratory of Ministry of Education and 2 State Engineering Technology
Research Center. Up to now, the New Zhejiang University is
the largest university stands erect on the China land.
As a key university directly under
the Ministry of Education, the New Zhejiang University will
be a first-rate institution of higher learning in the country in terms
of both general strength and standards of teaching and research. Also it
will take full advantage of the opportunity and make every effort to forge
ahead and built itself into an institution up to the level of the first-class
universities in the world.
HANGZHOU
- TOURIST ATTRACTION
Your host city HANGZHOU
is a beautiful garden city world-wide famous for its scenic beauty,
especially in Autumn. She is the capital of Zhejiang Province,
and one of the Six ancient capitals of China. A famous idiom in
China is: We have Su & Hang in the Earth as well as Paradise
in the sky. It means that Suzhou & Hangzhou are as beautiful
as Paradise. We will arrange one day of conference schedule for tour in
Hangzhou scenery. You can fly from Singapore or Hong
Kong to Hangzhou directly. It can also be easily reached via Shanghai
or Beijing. From Beijing to Hangzhou, it has 5 to 7 flights
from morning to night every day. Only 1 hr. and 40 min. is of the flight
time on the sky. From Shanghai to Hangzhou, it takes about 1.5 ~ 2.0 hrs.
by express train, or 2 hrs. by car on highway.
TOURS & SOCIAL PROGRAMS
CHINA HANGZHOU OVERSEAS Tourist
Co. will offer a number of tour programs for the participants and the accompanying
partners / families. There are three tour programs for Post Symposium
you
could choose (Separate Paper enclosed here please find).
Please
indicate your interest on the pre-registration form. One day city tour
and one day city shopping for the companies.
TECHNICAL EXHIBITION
An exhibition of equipment, materials
and literature related to EPR/ESR will be organized as a part of the APES'99.
Companies and organizations interested in participating in this exhibition
are requested to contact with Secretary of LOC Prof. Wang,
Li (Fax: +86-571-7951315; Phone: +86-571-7951342 E-mail: xyz@public.hz.zj.cn
