Dear Prospective Participants,

I am very pleased to welcome you all to ICSM-2008 on behalf of Executive Committee for the conference. It is particularly pleasing to see interests of so many overseas colleagues as invited speakers and participants. We are grateful to you for your contributions and support and should also like to thank our sponsors for their generous contributions and the exhibitors for their valuable role in this conference.

The organisers are putting together and pushing hard for very exciting scientific and social programmes for our conference guests and I am very grateful to them for all their hard work. We believe that the conference provides a forum where all matters of interest to the community of Superconductivity and Magnetism can be debated. Our close colleague Dr. Giovanni Grasso in charge of proceedings is working closely with Dr. Tom Miller of Institute of Physics, IOP Publishing Inc. to publish the proceedings in a reputable journal with high impact factor. We hope to have some good news soon. The committees for the conference are listed on our web site- please do contact us or Mrs. Serap Safran with any query.

In conclusion, everyone attending our conference is very special to us, and as organisers we will make every effort to make the meeting a unique experience for all.

Thank you again for attendance plans. We wish you all a successful and enjoyable conference and a very happy visit to Side-Antalya, one of the most beautiful and attractive parts of Turkey.

Yours sincerely,

Prof. Dr. Ali GENCER
On Behalf of Executive Committee
for ICSM-2008
Conference Director
