ICAME 2105

International Conference on the Applications of the Mössbauer Effect

13 – 18 September 2015, Hamburg, Germany

 

 

Dear colleague,

 

it is our pleasure to announce the International Conference on the 
Applications of the Mössbauer Effect (ICAME 2015) be held in the City of 
Hamburg, Germany, from Sunday 13 September to Friday 18 September 2015. 
Please visit the conference website for further information:

 

www.icame2015hamburg.de

 

The registration and abstract submission is open from 12 December 2014 to 
31 March 2015. Contributed talks and posters will be selected on basis of 
the submitted abstracts.

 

Please forward this First Circular to colleagues who might be interested 
to participate in the ICAME 2015 !

 

 

Conference venue

 

The conference will take place in the main building of the University of 
Hamburg, which is located close to the city centre. In order to recognize 
the 30th anniversary of nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron 
radiation, one day of the conference will be held at the Deutsches 
Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY where this method was pioneered by Erich 
Gerdau and coworkers in 1985. This offers also the possibility to obtain a 
closer view on research with synchrotron radiation and x-ray lasers at 
DESY.

 

Tutorials

 

There will be pre-conference tutorials on Sunday, 13 September 2015 on 
various applications of Mössbauer spectroscopy in the natural sciences. 
The program of the tutorial lectures will be available in January 2015.
