Discussion journal of the Mössbauer Community

[Homonnay Zoltán <homonnay AT caesar.elte.hu>]

Dear Mössbauer Spectroscopist Colleauges,

I would like to call your attention to the conference /announcement/ 
below. It is a very importantsign of respect toward our community (and 
it is the initiative from the new Editor in Chiefof JRNC, Zsolt 
Révay)that in the program of a conference dealing with a very wide 
spectrum of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry now Mossbauer 
Spectroscopy is also involved.

We are also interested to demonstrate where Mossbauer Spectroscopy can 
be usefully applied and serve research goals. (Here the focus is on 
chemical/analytical applications.)

For some more info please 
visit:*http://www.jrnc-ranc.com/index.php/conference*

It is expected that the Mossbauer Spectroscopysection (see topics below) 
will contain 1 invited and 3 regular oral presentations plus posters. In 
case of high number of applicants these numbers may be doubled.

So, please consider coming to Budapest next April if you have a chance.

With best regards:Zoltan Homonnay

/The Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry (JRNC) is pleased 
to invite you to the /

*/First International Conference on Radioanalytical and
Nuclear Chemistry (RANC-2016)/*

/to be held in Budapest, Hungary during
April 10–16, 2016./

/The JRNC has always published proceedings of conferences, and with many 
of them the collaboration goes back to several decades. At the same time 
we realized that the topics of these conferences do not always cover the 
entire scope of the JRNC. So we decided to launch a new conference 
series called “Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry (RANC)” to bring 
together our scientific community in the city where it all began and 
which is still its home. As in the case of other conferences, selected 
papers will be published in JRNC./

*/Please join us!/*

/Take the opportunity to get acquainted with colleagues – whom you have 
known so far only by name – in person. Enlighten yourself in other 
research fields. Enjoy everything this lovely city has to offer. 
Budapest has been the home of many great scientists like George (György) 
Hevesy and houses numerous laboratories in the area of radioanalytical 
and nuclear chemistry./

*/We look forward to meeting you in Budapest./*
