The rules for NATO Advanced Research Workshops allow for taking part in the event either as a participant or as an observer.

TO BECOME A PARTICIPANT:
In accord with the aim of the workshop, the status of participant is reserved for young researchers from Central Europe, or, more precisely, from Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Our ideal `young researcher’ is 

1. a PhD student, or someone who received PhD not long ago; 
2. has a lively interest in the foundational or philosophical issues of quantum mechanics. 

1. your CV, 
2. a short sample (ca. 10 pages) of your written work that is related to quantum mechanics or foundations of quantum mechanics. This can be your old seminar work, or can be specifically written for this occasion to address one of our relevant topics. Please, remember the aim of your paper: we do not expect you to make a breakthrough in the area, but to show your familiarity with a topic of your choice related to the workshop. 
3. a recommendation letter from your professor or a researcher in physics or philosophy of physics. However, if you have none to write for you, please, submit your materials without the letter. 

The documents should arrived at our Cracow address by May 1, 2001, and we will inform you about the selection results by May 20, 2001. 

For those selected, we will cover all the expenses related to: travel to and from Cracow, food and accommodation during the workshop, and tourist program. 

If in any doubt related to the workshop. Please write to: bell.workshop@uj.edu.pl

TO BE AN OBSERVER
The rules for NATO workshops require an obsever to be a citizen of a NATO country or a NATO-Partner country, or NATO-Mediterranean Dialogue country (for the definitions, see link to NATO). By these rules, we are not able to cover any expenses of observers. To reserve an accommodation in Cracow, we recommend our friendly tourist agency.
