The workshop fee was  €750 both for participants and accompanying persons.  Fees include participation at the conference, full board and hotel accommodation for 5 nights.  Non resident participants may pay a reduced fee of €200 which covers reception, 3 lunches and the gala dinner.  Fees do not include costs of any excursions which may be planned.   All fees can be paid in cash or cheque (in Euros) at the meeting. You may wish to contact the nearby Apeiron Hotel (5 minutes walk away) for extra nights:  info@apeironhotel.it  Double rooms cost €80 and €120 per night  for single and double occupancy respectively (with breakfast).

Papers

The working language of the workshop is English.

Oral and poster papers are invited on scientific, political and commercial developments relating to all forms of anomalies in hydrogen loaded metals. Experimental papers presenting novel techniques or of relevance to theoretical models are particularly welcome. Theory papers should outline what experimental results are supported or are in conflict, together with novel predictions.

Authors should estimate some 30 minutes for each paper but variations on this time can be made by arrangement.  Power Point presentations are preferred. (Bring a USB memory key or CD-ROM or DVD-R.). Open Office 2.0 software to create presentations is available on the ISCMNS DVD-R (also available at the meeting).

All presentations and papers should have numbered pages and the filename should start with the presenter's surname exactly as shown in the Program.  The organization will compress your submission into portable document format (.pdf) for publication on the ISCMNS web-site and DVD-R.  The pdf format offers greater guarantee that your work will display correctly and minimizes the risk of spread of viruses.  If you do not wish to publish your paper, you can also use your USB memory key or CD-ROM directly without copying to the workshop PC.   Presentations will not be published on-line until 7 November and may be modified or withdrawn by the authors at any time.

Authors of oral presentations are encouraged to also present poster of their talk.  Of course posters without oral presentations are also invited.  Alessandro Marmigi's paper was voted the best poster paper and he was awarded the ISCMNS bronze medal.

Conference Proceedings will be printed in hardback  and published.  Papers may also be submitted to the electronic journal Condensed Matter Nuclear Science and peer reviewed.

Weather

October is still swimming weather and the private beach is only 100m away from the hotel. Forecast.
