“PolaRoma” events
POLALAS Italo-Russian workshop, April 10th, 2009
An Italo-Russian workshop "POLALAS" on theoretical condensed matter physics will be organized by the Marie-Curie Chair of Excellence "Polaroma" in Castelgandolfo (near Rome) on April 10th 2009, following on the success of the first and second Italian-Russian theoretical workshops, which took place in Rome in March 2007 and 2008, respectively. The meeting itself will take place at the Country Golf Club "Castelgandolfo".
