Format:
This workshop is the ninth in the annual series on current topics
in Condensed Matter Physics which are jointly organised by the
School of Physics at The University of New South Wales
and
the Research School of Physical Sciences at The Australian
National University.
This year the workshop will centre around twenty and thirty minute
talks from the participants.
There will be a generous amount of time set aside for formal and
informal discussions.

October 29.
There is no registration fee.

Participation:
In the past few years we have seen a rush of exciting advances in the
field of Condensed Matter Physics. Stunning new experiments have been
realizable thanks to spectacular advances in technology. A common
element in many of these developments has been the low dimensionality
of the systems. This year the Gordon Godfrey Workshop will place
emphasis on these systems, although not exclusively. The Workshop
provides a once in the year opportunity for all the researchers and
postgraduate students in condensed matter theory and its related fields
to come together to exchange ideas and to identify new directions of
research. Topics of talks and the time table will be sent to
registrants in early November.
The program will start and finish late and early enough for our
interstate jetsetters to comfortably stay just for the day. We hope to
hear from our local experts about their current activities and also
where they envisage the new opportunities are.
Honours and post-graduate students are particularly welcome.
There may be a small amount of money available to partially support
their travel to Sydney. Mention your needs in the "Special Concerns"
space on the Registration Form.
