Dear current or future Mössbauer Spectroscopists or Nuclear Resonance 
Scatterers,

it is our pleasure to announce the 489th Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Seminar 
'Progress in Nuclear Resonance Scattering: from Methods to Materials'.

In the last decade, Nuclear Resonance Scattering (NRS) has become 
indispensable in many areas of research. Hyperfine spectroscopy, magnetism 
in nanostructures, or vibrational characterisation of proteins are just a 
few examples illustrating the impact of NRS on science. However, progress 
in the field of NRS continues and is even accelerating due to new 
methodological developments and new effects. With the announced seminar 
supported by the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation we aim to provide a 
framework, in which experts as well as scientists prospectively working in 
the field can discuss and define the future of NRS. Correspondingly, 
younger colleagues are especially encouraged to participate.

The seminar will take place in Bad Honnef (Germany), between February 26th 
and 29th, 2012. Note that participation is free of charge and includes 
accommodation and meals. Only travel expenses have to be covered by your 
institution. Application is possible until December 1st 2011.

Due to a restricted number of participants of around 75, a selection will 
be made by the organising committee. We encourage you to submit 
communications with your applications. The normal form of communication is 
by poster, but a few contributed talks will be selected in order to 
complement the invited talks.

More information including the list of confirmed invited speakers as well 
as the application form can be found at

We hope to see you in Bad Honnef!

Schünemann
