Thank you for the message. You are right on the time for meeting organization. The symposium list is pretty much dynamic and Surendra was always very open to proposed symposium in the past.
<br>
The critical issue is actually the cruise ship contract. Surendra has been working on it, thanks to his continuous enthusiasm. I will check with Andriy regarding the website and registration.<br>
Best regards.<br>

Subject: SMEC symposiums<br>
<br>
Dear all,<br>
<br>
I think it is time when we should put the symposium list and description on the SMEC website. So far we have the following symposiums<br>
proposed:<br>
<br>
Changqing JIN<br>
=>Quantum emergent matters: materials & phenomena driven via extreme conditions<br>
<br>
Rajeev Ahuja<br>
=>Hydrogen Storage & Hydrogen rich system<br>
<br>
Ali Zaoui<br>
=>Ab-initio calculations of magnetic materials<br>
<br>
Giuliana Aquilanti<br>
=>In-situ studies of functional systems<br>
<br>
Torben Jensen<br>
=>Hydrides and hydrates under pressure<br>
<br>
<br>
In addition to the above we expect the following to be<br>
<br>
Naurang Saini<br>
=>Emerging functional materials (will be decided avoiding any overlap)<br>
<br>
Arun Bansil<br>
=>Spin-orbit driven phases<br>
<br>
Surendra Saxena<br>
=>Geomaterials and geophysics<br>
<br>
<br>
At this point I am tempted to send an invitation to the potential symposium organizers (judging from the past performance at the SMEC<br>
meetings) and looking for your suggestions on this. Let me know what you think and will act accordingly.<br>
<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
Naurang<br>
