Welcome to the 2004 Nuclear Science Symposium,
Medical Imaging Conference, Symposium on Nuclear Power Systems and the 14th
International Workshop on Room Temperature Semiconductor X- and Gamma- Ray
Detectors
Dear Colleagues,
The Nuclear Science Symposium, Medical Imaging Conference, Symposium
on Nuclear Power Systems and 14th International Workshop on Room
Temperature
Semiconductor X- and Gamma- Ray Detectors will be held for the first
time in Italy, in the prestigious city of Rome, on October 16-22,
2004. This
conference represents a unique appointment for scientists and engineers
from all over the world to participate and present their original works
in a variety of subjects related to nuclear science and medical imaging.
The Nuclear Science Symposium offers an outstanding opportunity for
scientists and engineers interested or actively working in the field
of nuclear science,
radiation instrumentation, software and their applications to meet and
network with colleagues from around the world. The Medical Imaging Conference
is
the most productive international scientific meeting on the physics,
engineering, and mathematical aspects of nuclear medicine based
imaging. In addition,
significant contributions in X-ray and other imaging modalities involving
ionizing radiation are an emerging area of the MIC. The Symposium on
Nuclear Power Systems (SNPS) will again be held in conjunction with
the Nuclear
Science Symposium. The Technical paper sessions on nuclear power systems
cover subjects currently of major interest to the operation of nuclear
power stations and supporting services and suppliers. The RTSD workshop
represents
the largest forum of scientists and engineers working to develop new
solid-state radiation detectors and imaging arrays. The training
program for early
stage researchers offers a great opportunity to increase knowledge and
professional
skills.
The venue of the conference is the Ergife Palace Hotel, one of the largest
exhibition and congress areas in Europe. Its complex is unique, combining
the largest hotel in Italy with one of the most extensive exhibition
facilities in Europe on the same site. This provides a remarkable opportunity
to
make the congress activity pleasant and relaxing, saving time and avoiding
such
things as the stress of traffic in the city.
The Ergife Palace Hotel is located in a residential area of the capital
in a key position near S. Pietro and within a short distance of the
historical center of the city. It is only 4 kilometers from the main
Ring Road, and
only 26 kilometers from Fiumicino’s Leonardo da Vinci International
Airport. It is within walking distance of the underground station (‘Cornelia
metro station’). Regular bus services provide connections with
all of the important cultural sites and commercial centers in Rome.
Taxi services
are constantly available to guests and a shuttle service is provided
by the hotel on demand.
I look forward to meeting you in the splendid city of Rome and wish
you a pleasant and fruitful stay.
