NATO Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) and Advanced Research Workshops (ARW)<br />Additions to 2004 Calendar of Meetings<br /><br /><br />Following is a list of ASIs and ARWs to take place in 2004, which have been selected for support following the most recent review procedure for applications received. The complete list of 2004 ASIs and ARWs may be found at the NATO Science web site under Calendar of Meetings<br />(
http://www.nato.int/science/calendar/calendar.htm). <br /><br />Applications in 2004 for support to organize an ASI or an ARW will be considered only if they fall within the security-related "Priority Areas" of the revised NATO civil science programme, now known as the NATO Programme for Security Through Science. Details of the new programme may be found at the home page of the web site (
http://www.nato.int/science). <br /><br />Advanced Study Institutes are high-level tutorial courses to convey the latest developments in a subject to an advanced-level audience.<br /><br />Advanced Research Workshops: are expert workshops where an intense but informal exchange of views at the frontiers of a subject aims at identifying directions for future action.<br /><br />For further information on an individual meeting, or to apply to attend, please contact the co-directors listed.<br /><br /><br />NATO Programme for Security Through Science<br />
