Reservation can be made by sending email to scaenepe@vub.ac.be. We recommend that you make the reservation of a guestroom as soon as possible, since the number of rooms available is limited. If you make reservation for a room for 2 or 3 persons, mention the name of your room mate. The deadline for reservation of a hotel room is August 25. After that date, we cannot guarantee availability or congress rate. Registration There is no registration fee. You can register by sending an email to scaenepe@vub.ac.be. You can
also submit title and abstract if you wish to deliver a talk (25 minutes). Proceedings The Proceedings will be published by the Royal Academy. All speakers are invited to send in a contribution. Survey papers, or detailed summaries of your talk are welcome.
