Subject: International Symposium HAKONE V

HAKONE V

International Symposium on High Pressure Low Temperature
Plasma Chemistry

Milovy (Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, near Brno), Czech Republic
September 2-4, 1996

Scientific Programme
All subjects related to High Pressure (typical 1 bar), Low Temperature
(typical 300 K) Plasma Chemistry, have their place at this Symposium.
Planned sessions are the following:

Ozonizers
Flue gas clean technology
Molecule synthesis and decomposition
Corona induced plasma coating
Corona Surface treatments
Fundamental discharge phenomena

Both International Scientific Committee and Local Organizing Committee
have the pleasure to invite the scientists working in the field of
high pressure low temperature plasma chemistry to attend the HAKONE V.

Time and location
The symposium will be held September 2 - 4, 1996 at Milovy
(Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, near Brno), Czech Republic. The symposium
follows the XIII-th ESCAMPIG held in Poprad, Slovak Republic, August
27-30, 1996. More details concerning transport will be specified later.

Call for papers
Abstracts of no more 200 words to the HAKONE V should be sent before
March 15, 1996 to the address of the LOC. Presenters will be notified
of acceptance by April 30, 1996. After the selection, a contribution
of 5 pages will be accepted for publication in the conference proceedings.
The deadline for full contributions will be given in the second announcement.
No publication will occur when the official registration, including
fee, for at least one of the authors will not have been received before
June 15, 1996.
The complete information will follow in the second announcement.

Registration fee
Before 15/6/96 490 DM
After 15/6/1996 550 DM
The fee includes participation, accommodation and full board (breakfast,
lunch, dinner), the proceedings, the welcome cocktail, the excursion and
the conference dinner.

Supplementary information
We suppose that the majority of HAKONE participants will take part in the
ESCAMPIG conference that will be held in August 26-30, 1996 in High Tatras,
Slovakia. Therefore we suppose to organize the bus transport from ESCAMPIG
to HAKONE.

>From the history of HAKONE
In the August 1897 in Hakone, Japan there was a meeting of a group of
scientists working on chemical and physical-chemical phenomena in plasma and
corona and silent discharges or, more generally, in plasma of low power
discharges. It was organized as a pre-symposium to the International
Symposium on Plasma Chemistry which was opened in Tokyo directly afterwards.
Some of the participants and organizers came to the conclusion that such
meetings dealing with narrowed range of subjects, grouping specialists of
strictly defined interests should be continued.

In June 1988 Professor J. S. Chang from Mc Master-University, Canada, suggested
to organize the second similar Symposium in Poland directly after the ISPC-9 in
Bari and the proposition was supported by Prof. S. Okazaki from Sophia
University, Tokyo and by Professors T. Sakai and T. Ito from Musachi Institute
of Technology, Tokyo. After first announcement followed by numerous
preliminary registrations, which additionally supported the decision to orga-
nize the Symposium, it was decided to hold the meeting in Lublin, Poland and
to call it "HAKONE" on account of the place where the first meeting of this
kind was organized. Up to now two subsequent Symposia were held in different
places of the Europe. Namely,

- 1991, Strasbourg, France
- 1993, Bratislava, Slovak Republic

And finally in 1996 we would like to meet you on "HAKONE V" at Milovy,
Czech Republic. A hotel is called Devet Skal - Nine Rocks, about 70km
out of Brno.
