CALL FOR POSTERS
-----------------
All those intending to participate in the conference are invited
to submit posters presenting original work.
Abstracts prepared according to the instructions given below should arrive
NOT LATER THAN JUNE 30th, 1995.
The authors will be informed about the provisional acceptance in July, 1995.
The presentation of the posters will be finally approved and thus the
contribution included in the Book of Abstracts when at least one of the
registers before August 1st, 1995. Contributors of outstanding posters will
be chosen by the scientific committee to give a 20 minute lecture.
