Participation and IAEA Formalities for TM Participants
To participate in the meeting, please send a completed Participation Form
(available in MS Word and PDF) together with a 200 to 400-word abstract of
your presentation (if any) to your appropriate authority (Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, National Atomic Energy Authority) for subsequent
transmission to the IAEA. A participant will be accepted only if the
Participation Form is transmitted through the appropriate authority. The
Participation Forms and Abstracts must be received by 27 June 2003. For
advance information, please send a copy of the Participation Form and
Abstract also directly to the IAEA Scientific Secretary, Ursula Schneider,
IAEA, Physics Section, P.O. Box 100, Wagramer Str. 5, A-1400 Vienna,
Austria, e-mail: u.schneideriaea.org.

Visas
Designated participants who require a visa to enter the United States of
America should submit the necessary application to the nearest diplomatic or
consular representative of USA as soon as possible.

Financial Support
As a general rule, the IAEA does not pay the cost of attendance in the TM,
i.e. travel and living expenses, of participants. However, limited funds are
available to help meet the cost of attendance of few selected specialists
mainly from developing countries with low economic resources. Generally, not
more than one grant will be awarded to any one country. The grants awarded
will be in the form of lump sums usually covering part of the cost of
attendance.

If governments wish to apply for a grant on behalf of one of their
specialists, they should address specific requests to the Scientific
Secretary of the International Atomic Energy Agency to this effect (address
please see below). Governments should ensure that applications for grants:

(a) Be received by the IAEA by 27 June 2003;
(b) Be accompanied by a duly completed and signed Participation Form (pages 1 and 2) including the 200 to 400-word abstract of the paper to be presented. Applications that do not comply with the conditions mentioned under (a) and (b) cannot be considered. Awards will be announced around 1 July 2003. For advance notice, please address inquiries to John Pucadyil, IAEA Organizer, P.O. Box 100, Wagramer Str. 5, A-1400 Vienna, Austria, e-mail: I.J.Pucadyiliaea.org
