INVITATION

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is a great pleasure for us to invite you to attend the Asian Symposium on Advanced Materials (ASAM). The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Institute of Chemistry, Far East Department, Russian Academy of Sciences, Presidium of Far East Department of Russian Academy of Sciences and Far Eastern National University. The ASAM will take place from 1 to 4 October, 2007 at the Conference Center of Far Eastern National University. The Organizing Committee is making every effort to ensure that your participation is being pleasant, scientifically fruitful and giving rise to new ideas, contacts and cooperation. We hope that this meeting is leaving in your memories, as well as Vladivostok and Russia is remaining with you for a long time. Vladivostok is a Russian city that is in Far Eastern region, geographically close to China, Japan and Korea. Therefore, one of the aims of this symposium is to make it closer "scientifically", stimulate contacts and cooperation with Asian scientists and through the Russian scientists bridge them with European scientists because of good relations of Russia with neighboring European countries from the opposite side. The ASAM is intended as a forum for scientists and technologists mainly from Asian universities, academic institutes and industry at which they might present their latest findings and develop new synergies on advanced materials and all related subjects. There is a hope that the ASAM is promoting new scientific contacts and meetings between participants in future. We invite contributions on all aspects of advanced materials for modern and future industry. On behalf of the Organizing Committee,

Yury SHCHIPUNOV, Chang-Sik HA,

GENERAL INFORMATION

Date and venue
The Asian Symposium on Advanced Materials will be held from 1 to 4 October, 2007 at the Conference Center of Far Eastern National University in Vladivostok. The symposium is hosted jointly by Institute of Chemistry, Far East Department, Russian Academy of Sciences, Presidium of Far East Department of Russian Academy of Sciences and Far Eastern National University.
The Conference Center is situated in the downtown of Vladivostok. Vladivostok is a port city of about 900 000 inhabitants being on the Far East Coast of Russia. It was founded in 1860. This is the largest city in the Russian Far Eastern region. There are 6 universities and Far East Department of The Russian Academy of Sciences that consists of 14 academic institutes. The city is situated on hills of Murav'ev-Amurski Peninsula and surrounded by two bays. There is magnificent countryside, coastline and islands.
Climate
The beginning of October is the late fall in Vladivostok. As usual, it is sunny. A rain shower is possible, but it is rather scarce and not prolonged. Average daytime temperature is around 15oC, but on sunny days it exceeds 20oC. The nights may be slightly cold.

The ASAM Site

Sukhanova 8, 690950 Vladivostok, Russia

Note: H, Hotel Hyundai

The building is situated in the downtown. It was built as a school of commerce in 1913 (architect S. A. Vensan). One may see it in a renovated state now. The building stands on a hill. It offers views of the downtown, bay and port of Vladivostok.
