Registration
|
|
The deadline for abstract submission and registration is
June 1st 2014.
Registration and
submission of abstracts take place by way of the local BOLOGNA2014 website
https://sites.google.com/site/bolognaspec2014/
Your registration becomes valid when your payment has been received by the local organizers.
If you have indicated on-site payment, a printed version of the completed registration
form must be signed (important!), scanned as PDF, and up-loaded together with your
online registration.
If you have preregistered, you
are likely to receive a registration reminder email during May 2014.
In the second circular "IUPAC rates" are mentioned: They apply for
"IUPAC Members or Associated", that is, participants who
hold an active IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) membership. As a rule of thumb:
If you hold a IUPAC membership (and can present written evidence of this), the reduced rate applies.
If you are puzzled as to what a IUPAC member is, chances are that you are not a member and the normal rate applies.

Abstract submission
|
Abstracts are submitted by file up-load to
the local BOLOGNA2014 website

- the title of the contribution,
- the names of authors and their affiliations (without diacritical symbols),
- whether the presentation is a talk (of certain length/type), or if you opt for a poster,
- if the first author and presenter of a talk competes for the BOLOGNA2014 Pliva Prize,
- keywords to be used for the assignment of the contribution to an appropriate session.
Please use the Word RTF template file
BO2014_abstract_Template.rtf
for formatting and submitting your abstract.
Up-load your abstract in one of the three file formats accepted by

2012 Benedict Spectroscopy Award
|
|
The Benedict Award honours the life-time contributions and achievements of a
scientist who has made a landmark impact on spectroscopy research and its
applications.
It is introduced in honour of William S. Benedict, widely acclaimed for his fundamental contributions
delineating the mechanism of the water-vapour laser,
his early work on molecular line shape, and for his discovery of
hydrogen chloride in the atmosphere of the planet Venus.
This Elsevier Award is administered by the Editors and Publisher of the
Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer (JQSRT). Starting in 2012,
the Benedict
Award is being presented every two years. It consists of a glass statuette and an official
Elsevier certificate.
The 2012
Benedict Award
recipient is Professor Peter F. Bernath,
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry,
Old Dominion University,
Norfolk, Virginia, U.S.A.
In an address given in connection with the PRAHA2012 chamber concert
on Friday, September 7, 2012, in the historical Carolinum lecture hall in central Prague,
Dr. Laurence S. Rothman, editor-in-chief of JQSRT and chairman of the international steering
committee of PRAHA2012, marked the occasion of the first Benedict Award having been
presented.

Historical / PRAHA internet archive ....
|
|
The principal organizer of the first 11 meetings of the "PRAHA" series,
Dr. Dušan Papoušek, passed away
on 14th October 2010
at the age of 80 years after a long battle with cancer.
We remember him not only as a distinguished spectroscopist, but also
as the organizer of legendary
conferences at Liblice Castle.
Click here for a brief history of the "PRAHA" spectroscopy conferences.
|
|
The PRAHA internet archive is relatively complete. It now contains the programs, with all available abstracts, from all meetings in the
series (No abstracts were collected for the first meeting in 1970). Also, there are at least a few photographs
from each of the meetings.
However, there are very
few pictures from the 1988, 1990, 1994, and 1996 meetings,
and
rather
few pictures from the
1992, 1998, and 2000 meetings. If you have photographs from any of these meetings that are not on the site already,
we would be very grateful for them. Please scroll to the bottom of the page for instructions as to how to deliver
them to us.

|
|
The establishment of the PRAHA internet archive was inspired by a very personal account of,
on one hand, the goings-on at some of the early conferences in the PRAHA series and,
on the other hand, the intricacies of the Czech language, given by Dr. Jon T. Hougen
at PRAHA2008. This talk marked the occasion of PRAHA2008 being the 20th conference in the series.
Dr. Hougen can be aptly described as the Spirit of Conferences Present and here
he is being watched by the Ghost of Conferences Past.
