24 -25 April 1998, Copenhagen.
First Nordic Project Meeting and third NorFA Network Meeting.
The aim of this informal workshop is to discuss the physics of the Standard
Model of strong and electroweak interactions and its extensions at high
temperatures and energy densities, including applications to cosmology. The
subjects include (but are not limited to) equilibrium thermodynamics of QCD and
electroweak theories, effective theories of the Standard Model and its
extensions at finite temperature, baryon number violation, magnetic fields and
topological defects in the early Universe, and numerical simulations of
equilibrium thermodynamics and real-time processes.
The workshop is organized by the Nordic project Hot Non-Perturbative Particle
Physics,
21 - 23 May 1998, Nordita, Copenhagen.
To celebrate Bernard Pagel on his retirement from Nordita there will be a
symposium on the many facets of the problem of the abundances of elements in
the cosmos. The meeting will begin on the morning of May 21, and finish around
lunch time on May 23. Among the expected participants are: M.G. Edmunds, G.
Gilmore, B. Gustafson, Michael Fall, David Lambert, D. Lynden-Bell, M. Pettini,
E. Skillman, J. Sommer-Larsen, and Y. Yoshii.
For more details, contact Anne Lumholdt at Nordita (lumholdt@nordita.dk).
Organizing committee: Bengt Gustafsson (Uppsala), Anne Lumholdt (Nordita
Secretary), Chris Pethick (Nordita), Jesper Sommer-Larsen (TAC), and Mattias
Wahde (Nordita).
17 - 19 June 1998, NORDITA, Copenhagen.
A small workshop will be arranged in connection with the visits of K. Eskola,
E. Iancu, L. McLerran, R. Pisarski, D. Rischke, V. Ruuskanen and E. Shuryak.
The following topics will be discussed: the eikonal methods used in hard
thermal loops, small-x physics and nuclear shadowing, semi-classical lattice
simulations of dynamical QCD fields, initial conditions in ultrarelativistic
nuclear collisions. For more information, see:
http://www.nordita.dk/~hh/ws98.html.
22 - 27 June 1998, NORDITA, Copenhagen.
Organizer: Dmitri Diakonov (NORDITA).
The idea of the workshop is to bring together people who are actively working
on the microscopic mechanism of colour confinement, to share their
achievements, experience, prejudices and, most important, difficult problems.
The accent will be on long talks with subsequent intensive discussions.
More than 30 experts from the USA, Japan, West and East Europe and from the
Nordic countries have made commitments to participate. The workshop will
incorporate participants of the Nordic Project ``Semiclassical Methods in
Quantum Field Theory'' and of the INTAS project ``Study of Instantons,
Monopoles and Strings in Field Theory''. It will be funded partly from these
projects, and partly from the NORDITA conference budget. For more details
contact the organizer, D. Diakonov (Nordita) diakonov@nordita.dk.
19 - 28 August 1998, Krogerup Højskole, Humleb�, Denmark.
The aim of the school is to introduce graduate students and post-docs into
recent advances in physics of proteins, including their interaction and control
with DNA, genetic networks, ratchets, molecular motors, RNA and evolution. For
further details, please see the enclosed poster.
24 - 29 August 1998, Copenhagen, Denmark.
In response to the observation that this year marks the 90th anniversary of the
birth of Lev Landau, we are pleased to announce a Nordita-Landau Symposium to
be held August 24 - 29 in Copenhagen.
The symposium will cover a wide spectrum of problems of current interest in
theoretical physics: Strings, Branes, Integrable Systems, Quantum Chaos,
Dynamical System Theory, Chaos, Disordered Systems, Soft Condensed Matter, and
Statistical Physics. Invited participants include: E. Abrahams, A. A.
Abrikosov, P. W. Anderson, A. Andreev, Yu.A. Bychkov, S. Chakravarty, P.
Cvitanovic, B. Derrida, V. Dotsenko, I. Dzyaloshinskii, M. Feigenbaum, D.

to form personal contacts between students and the local faculty. For further
details, please see the enclosed poster.
2 - 5 December 1998, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The aim of the conference is to discuss the physics of the Standard Model (and
beyond) at finite temperatures and densities, with applications in cosmology,
astrophysics and laboratory experiments. The invited speakers include: P.
