Dear Colleagues,
As you know, JENAM-2007 will take place in Yerevan, Armenia. The First
Announcement was sent in October through the EAS Newsletter, and the web page
is active since then at
http://www.aras.am/JENAM-2007/index.htm and
http://www2.iap.fr/eas/Jenam07/index.htm (mirror site at EAS)
However, to make a wider announcement, it would be rather helpful if you could
circulate the JENAM First Announcement to the non-EAS members of your society
as well. Please find it enclosed.
Thank you very much in advance.
With best wishes,
Areg Mickaelian,
Co-chair of SOC and Chair of LOC,
JENAM-2007.
