first of all the bad news, you do not go on an exotic trip
abroad!
Now
for the good! You do not need any money.
Put
simply, We are holding a virtual conference. Papers and posters
will be displayed on the World Wide Web. The main site will be at
one of the largest internet providers in the UK (U-net) which has
a very fast link to the internet. In addition, there will be a
mirror site for fast access in the USA. A simple mechanism for
discussing the conference contributions using electronic mail
techniques will provided.
We
hope that this will provide a novel means for Photochemists and
Photobiologists to discuss the most exciting and topical
developments in their field.
A
longer period than normal is required (and is typical of
electronic conferences) as we all have our normal jobs to do,
instead of being able to concentrate on the meeting itself.
However,
there will be an initial 2 week period where we expect all
participants to check the electronic mail board for their
paper/poster and respond to any comments. This will be the
equivalent of the afternoon poster session in a real meeting.
After that, the next 2 weeks is the equivalent of the rest of the
week in a real meeting, i.e the posters are left up, but the
authors are in the bar!
