A NATO ARW is a meeting of two to five days' duration, involving between 20 and 50 participants. A NATO ARW is not an international conference or symposium but rather a forum for advanced level, intensive discussions between qualified experts from different countries, and often from different research sectors.

Scope and Purpose: The main goal of this NATO Advanced Research Workshop is to bring together scientists from quantum field theory, string theory and quantum gravity with researchers in as well as experts on representation theory of these algebras will have a stimulating effect on each side and will lead to new developments. In each field there is a highly developed knowledge by experts which can only be transformed to another field by having close personal contact through discussions, talks and reports. The Workshop will promote the development of new directions in the field of modern theoretical and mathematical physics combining the efforts of scientists from NATO, East European countries and NIS (Former Soviet Union). ********************************************************************

Suggested Topics for Discussion:

I. Novel approaches in quantum groups.

II. New trends in developing supersymmetric unified models.

*************************************************************

Fees:

While individuals will not be charged a registration fee for the workshop there will be a charge for transportation and the social program. The cost of accommodation (including meals) for registered participants will not exceed $100 per day. Some funding is available to support presenters of select contributions.

Travel and living expenses of key speakers will be covered in full. It is planned to cover living expenses of other participants from NATO and Partner countries in full. Travel expenses of other participants from NATO and Partner countries will be covered partially, within limits provided by NATO (for participants from NIS - in full). Most probably, it will be about 50-60% of the cost of air ticket in ECONOMY class.

Each extra day of attendance (before 24 and after 27 September) should be paid by the participant on arrival (in cash, 100US$/day - accommodation and meals).

*************************************************************

Working language of the meeting: English.

************************************************************

Proceedings:

The abstracts will be published as a separate issue before the Workshop.

The scientific report of ARW will be published in NATO ASI Series as a separate book by Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Please think about preparation of articles till 10-15 pages in (AMS)Latex 2e now. They will be accepted during the time before and 1 month after the Workshop.

*************************************************************

Deadline:

Deadline for submission of abstracts and/or registration forms is August 1, 2000.
