    CRYSTALLOGRAPHY at HIGH PRESSURES - 2006
      International Workshop organized by 
      the Commission on High Pressure of 
   the International Union of Crystallography 
   and the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, 
     Joint Institute for Nuclear Research
   Dubna, Russia, September 28 - October 1, 2006

              SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT
***************************************************

SCOPE

This forthcoming International Workshop on Crystallography at 
High Pressure follows the sequence of workshops organized on 
behalf of the IUCr Commission on High Pressure (Argonne, USA, 
1998; SPring-8, Japan, 2000; Orsay, France, 2001; Berkeley, 
USA, 2003; Saskatoon, Canada 2004). This Workshop will also 
follow the sequence of meetings on Neutron Scattering at High 
Pressure organized by the FLNP JINR (NSHP-I in 1994 and NSHP-II 
in 1999, Dubna, Russia). The 2006 workshop will cover the entire 
range of the High-Pressure Crystallography, including X-ray, 
neutron and theoretical studies, material synthesis, physical 
properties and related techniques, and therefore will naturally 
integrate NSHP-III as a part of the meeting. The scientific 
program will include about 30 invited talks and poster sessions. 
As usual, the Commission will encourage new fields and new 
speakers especially from the youngest part of the high-pressure 
community. We expect to welcome over 100 participants. 

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME

The list of scientific topics includes
1. Crystal structures and phase transitions
2. Magnetic crystallography and physical properties
3. Inelastic X-ray and neutron scattering and optical spectroscopy
4. Mineral physics and Geophysics
5. Liquids and non-crystalline materials
6. Polymers, proteins and biological systems
7. Materials synthesized under high pressures
8. Equations of state, non-stationary processes 
9. Neutron, synchrotron and laboratory techniques for high-pressure studies

LOCATION

Dubna is a small and quiet town situated 120 km north of Moscow 
on the picturesque banks of the great Russian river Volga. There 
are railway and bus connections between Dubna and Moscow. The 
organizers will provide a transfer between the 
Sheremetyevo International airport, Moscow and Dubna. 
Dubna is well known as an international scientific center for 
studies of condensed matter, nuclei and elementary particles. 
More detailed information about Dubna can be found at 
http://www.dubna.ru/english/. The web-site of the 
Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is http://www.jinr.ru. 

WEATHER

At the end of September weather could be nice in Dubna with 
modest temperatures and not too much rain, while it could rain 
for some part of day.

ACCOMMODATION

Accommodation for participants will be provided in hotel "Dubna" 
in single and double rooms. The accommodation reservations will 
be made through registration forms. The approximate accommodation 
cost is USD 30-50 per night depending on the room type.  

SOCIAL PROGRAMME

Guided tours to Moscow or Sergiev Posad could be organized. 
Tour price is about USD 50.
