FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT
AND CALL FOR PAPERS

Second Volga International Summer School
on Space Plasma Physics

Nizhniy Novgorod/Volga River, Russia, June, 13-21, 1995

Organised by
Radiophysical Research Institute (NIRFI) Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia
and
Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRFU) Uppsala, Sweden

Application deadline: March 15, 1995

------------------------------------------------------------------------

AS ANNOUNCED EARLIER, the Second Volga International Summer School
(ISS95) on Space Plasma Physics will be held in Russia during the period
June 13-21, 1995. This is the Final Announcement for ISS95.

LIKE THE SUCCESSFUL first Volga Summer School, held in June 1993 (ISS93)
which gathered over 130 participants from all over the world, the 1995
Volga ISS will be held onboard a river cruise ship on the mighty Volga,
``The Mother of Russia''. The starting point is Nizhniy Novgorod
(formerly Gor'kiy), an old city with approximately 2 million
inhabitants, located on the Volga and Oka rivers approximately 400 km
east of Moscow, and a Russian centre for higher education and research.
We herewith invite you to participate in the ISS95.

THE PURPOSE of these Summer Schools is to give an introduction to the
problems of linear and non-linear space plasma physics, ionospheric
modification, and the use of the ionosphere as a space plasma laboratory
as well as to bring together experienced researchers, young scientists
and scholars in astrophysics, magnetospheric, and ionospheric physics
for a fruitful exchange of ideas across areas of interest, language,
culture and age barriers.

THE TOTAL CONFERENCE FEE (including registration fee, full board and
lodging during the entire Summer School, and local transportation in
Russia) is estimated at between US$ 500 (double occupancy in a second
class cabin) and US$ 700 (single occupancy in a first class cabin). The
registration deadline is MARCH 15, 1995. Application for participation
and registration is most conveniently done electronically via the WWW
registration form page http://hybrid.irfu.se/Volga95/Registration.html
which contains further information. If WWW registration is not an
option for you, we will accept registration via e-mail and ordinary
postal mail. Please be sure to give your name, title, full postal
address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address, cabin preference
(DeLuxe, First Class, or Second Class), and title, author(s) and author
address(es) of your abstract (if you wish to make a presentation).
Attendance will be granted on a first come/first served basis.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE the Summer School students to submit abstracts of
subjects of their interest for short presentations at the regular
sessions. Every evening we will organise informal and open special
seminars on "Crazy Ideas", where you are free to propagate very new and
wild ideas without any arguments of their realisation or to argue
against ideas presented by other participants.

THE SOCIAL PROGRAMME includes evenings of poetry, folklore and music
from various countries where the participants are welcome to deliver
performances.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, please contact iss95@nirfi.nnov.su or consult the
world-wide-web (WWW) page http://hybrid.irfu.se/Volga95/info.html.

REGISTRATION FORM


To register for the Second Volga International Summer School on Space
Plasma Physics, please submit your application for registration

before March 15, 1995.

The most convenient way to do this (both for you and the organising
committee) is to fill out the World-Wide-Web (WWW) page form
http://hybrid.irfu.se/Volga95/Registration.html and then click the
submit button near the end of that WWW page. Once you have submiited
your application electronically in this way and it has been checked, you
will immediately get an automatic confirmation that we have received it.

If you do not know how to access the World-Wide-Web from your computer,
ask a knowledgeable person to help you install 'netscape' which is a WWW
program that is avaialble, free of charge, for almost any computer and
extremely easy to install (in a minute or two!) and to run. If
everything fails, you may, as a last resort, submit your registration
data by e-mail or by ordinary mail instead. Addresses can be found
above.

Please browse through this entire registration form and, if you have WWW
access, the Volga ISS 1995 information WWW page, for possible more
information before you enter your registration data.

You may read the list of all applicants to date and other info by
consulting the WWW page http://hybrid.irfu.se/Volga95/info.html.

PLEASE ENTER THE TITLE OF YOUR ABSTRACT (IN LaTeX FORM) IN THE FOLLOWING TEXT
AREA ACCORDING TO THE EXAMPLE ALREADY ENTERED THERE.

HERE IS HOW TO DO IT:
Leave the existing LaTeX commands \title{ }, \author{ }, \and, and
\address{ } as they stand, since these (self-explanatory) commands are
already of the correct form for LaTeX and we need them for typesetting
your entry.
Replace the sample lines containing fake title, author names, and
addresses with your actual title, author names and associated addresses.
Please do not change the order of the lines. Note that each set of author
names must be immediately followed by the associated common address of
these authors. Enter as many author name sets/address pairs as you need.
Remove unneeded LaTeX commands. For instance, if you do not need to enter
an author footnote, delete the sample \thanks{ } construct. Also, delete
extraneous author and address lines.

COMMENT:
The LaTeX command "~" used in the sample entry below between the author name
initials is a kind of "glue" command which prevents bad looking, automatic line
breaks. The LaTeX command "\," used between the numbers in the postal code in
the first address is an example of thin space (as opposed to standard interword
space). Both of these "tricks" are used for aesthetical reasons only but are
nevertheless strongly recommended.
