Dear Colleagues,

We should like to attract your attention to the fact that 
registration and abstract submission to the International 
Conference on Precision Physics and Fundamental Physical 
Constants (FFK-2019) will close in two weeks time, 15 May 
2019. The conference will take place on 10-14 June 2019 in 
the spectacular resort town Tihany at the very shore of the 
Hungarian Lake Balaton. For all details: venue, programme, 
registration, organization committee, transportation and 
accomodation see the home page 
http://indico.cern.ch/e/ffk-2019.

We expect the participants to arrive on Sunday, 9th May and 
we shall provide two buses at the Budapest Airport to bring 
the participants to Tihany, and also two buses to bring them 
back to the Airport, one on Friday at 2 p.m. and another 
Saturday morning 8 a.m. For the preliminary transportation 
schedule see 
https://indico.cern.ch/event/643043/page/10727-travel. For 
those who want to leave earlier we recommend the local taxi 
service, sharing a cab will get you to Budapest at a 
reasonable price.

The conference will cover a broad variety of topics related 
to precision physics and fundamental constants, which range 
from particle physics and astrophysics to atomic physics and 
metrology. It follows the line of the previous conferences 
of this series held last in Stara Lesna, St. Petersburg, 
Dubna, Budapest and Warsaw (see our home page for links). 
The official language of the conference will be English.

The conference will serve as a part of the programme of the 
Hungarian Eötvös year, devoted to the rich scientific and 
cultural heritage of Baron Roland von Eötvös at the occasion 
of the 100th anniversary of his passing. As his most famous 
result was an extremely precise measurement of Earth's 
gravitational effects using his famous Eötvös pendulum, 
FFK-2019 will have special sessions devoted to gravity 
measurements.

The registration to FFK-2019 is open until 15 May. Please 
come to Tihany, June is already high holiday season at the 
Lake Balaton. As Tihany is a famous resort place, it has 
several hotels nearby, especially in Balatonfüred.  The 
guest house on site is fully booked by the registered 
participants except for a 6-bed apartment which can be used 
by students.

Please let us know if you need an official invitation by our 
institute, the Wigner Research Centre for Physics for 
obtaining a visa Hungary.  Please submit your abstracts in 
due course so that the organizing committee could compose 
the final programme of the conference.

We apologize if you receive this message more than once.

With best regards yours,

Dezso Horvath
on behalf of the local organizers
