Dear participants in `The Promise of FIRST' symposium!
We in the SOC are pleased to present the Scientific Programme for the meeting. It consists of four major parts:
The nature of what is called `Panel discussions' will be further explained in the meeting, but we (the SOC = the FIRST Science Team) remind you that the specific aims for this meeting stated in the announcement are:
The panel discussions will be designed to address the three last points above through interaction with the future FIRST user community. We will be seeking your views on these issues in order to ensure that we have the best possible input in our task of maximising the science return of FIRST!
The scheduling of the invited talks and the oral and poster contributions has been drawn up to maximise the usefulness with the panel discussions in mind, hence the concentration of invited talks early in the meeting. Thanks to the very large number of interesting contributions received - and many requests for oral talks - we have decided to run parallel sessions for oral contributions in order to double the number of speakers that can be accomodated.
Here you find the Scientific Programme in PDF format, below is a HTML version, with links to the abstracts. There is also an Abstract Book in PDF format available (4.4Mb), however, note that this book was produced with the 17 November version of the Scientifc Programme. All participants will get a printed copy of the Abstract Book at the time of registration.
For the presentations themselves, the following equipment is
available in each of the two lecture rooms:
1 computer projector
2 viewgraph projectors
2 screens
See you soon in Toledo!
Best regards,
the SOC
