(meteorobs) International Meteor Conference 2009

[Sirko Molau]

International Meteor Conference 2009
September 24-27, Porec, Croatia

On behalf of the International Meteor Organization (IMO) and the local
organizers, we are glad to announce that the 2009 International Meteor
Conference (IMC) will take place from September 24 to 27 in Porec,
Croatia. Porec is a very touristic city on the Istrian peninsula,
bordering the Adriatic Sea. It is easily reachable and situated only
50 km (30 mi) south-southwest of the Italian city of Trieste.

The local organization is in the hands of the Visnjan Observatory
which is situated near Porec. The local organization is coordinated by
Korado Korlevic.

The conference fee is set at 150 EUR, which, as usual, includes
attendance of all lectures, full board from Thursday evening till
Sunday noon, and the conference proceedings which will be produced
after the event.

Even though great efforts are made to keep IMC conference fees low,
both the International Meteor Organization (IMO) and the local
organizers realize that attending the IMC represents a significant
financial burden to some interested participants. As ususal, the IMO
will provide a limited amount of support. In addition, the local
organizers can offer accommodation to about 30 participants outside
the conference hotel to further reduce the costs.

Concrete details regarding accommodation, transportation,
registration, and support will be provided in the February 2009 issue
of WGN (WGN:37:1), which is due in the first weeks of February. By
that time, this information will also be available at the IMO website,
http://www.imo.net. All 2008 and 2009 IMO members and all participants
of the 2007 and 2008 IMCs will receive an email (to the extent
available) when this information is on-line.
