Dear Colleagues, We thank all participants for registering for the First NCAC Symposium on "Physical and chemical aspects of late stages of stellar evolution". In this announcement we include information regarding our meeting. The scientific programme is enclosed on our web page http://www.ncac.torun.pl/ncac_symp. Small changes are still possible, and the final program will be available after August 7th. We kindly ask those who have not yet sent us details (final title, abstract) of their presentation to email them as soon as possible to mikolaj@camk.edu.pl The allocated time for talks includes time for questions/short discussion. There will be also poster presentations. The maximum size of the poster is 84cm x 119 cm (A0). A book of abstracts will be distributed to the conference attendees upon registration. There is a possibility to organize a free bus/minivan shuttle from the Hyatt Regency, Warsaw University and Belwederski Hotels to the NCAC in the morning. Please let us know if you are interested. Since there are no restaurants within a short (<5-10 min) walking distance from the NCAC, we will organize a buffet lunch for all the participants on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. In addition, a welcome coctail is planned for Sunday, August 28th, at 18:00 at the NCAC, and the conference dinner on Wednesday, August 31st. All these will be covered by the registration fee To make the arrangements we must know your dietary preferences. Finally, there is a possibility to organize a social lunch with siteseeing in Wilanow on Thursday, August 1st if there will be enough interest. We plan to leave the NCAC after the conference end, around 12:30, have a lunch at a restaurant with Polish cuisine (not included in the conference fee, choice from menu), and then stay as long as you wish to enjoy the Wilanow Park and Palace: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilanow_Palace http://www.warsawtraveltours.com/en/news/89/28/Wilanow-Park-and-Palace.html Please fill in and return us as soon as possible (and not later than August 10th) the accompanying form.
