| The 12th International Conference on II-VI Compounds will be jointly organized by the Faculty of Physics of the Warsaw University and the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and will be held at Warsaw University on September 12-16, 2005. The Conference will be a continuation of a successful series of topical, truly international conferences which started in Durham (UK) in 1983 and through two decades of serving the semiconductor physics community were organized in various European countries as well as in U.S. and Japan. The main goals of this series of conferences are to provide a well organized international forum to review and stimulate the progress in basic and applied research on II-VI compounds, to facilitate the exchange of new ideas and to establish new scientific contacts and international consortia aimed at solving outstanding basic and applied problems. These conferences have also served educational purposes by attracting PhD students from various countries. II-VI semiconductors provide a variety of unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. The conference will cover all aspects of basic and applied research on wide- and narrow-gap II-VI compounds and their alloys, including diluted magnetic semiconductors. Special emphasis will be given to various low dimensional quantum structures and new technological and application concepts (e.g., spintronics, ultrafast magnetooptical phenomena, quantum dots, infrared and visible range detectors, light emitting structures, and new materials for radiation detection). The Conference will be conducted in accordance with IUPAP principles as stated in the ICSU-Document "Universality of Science" (sixth edition, 1989) regarding the free circulation of scientists for international purposes. In particular, no bona fide scientist will be excluded from participation on the grounds of national origin, nationality, or political considerations unrelated to science. |

| LOCAL TRAVEL INFORMATION |
| From Warsaw F. Chopin International Airport (airport's web page http://www.polish-airports.com) the conference site as well as Sofitel Victoria, Harenda, and Ibis Stare Miasto hotels can be conveniently reached by public transportation system using bus line No. 175. The bus No. 175 departs from the stop right in front of the arrival hall of the airport (direction "Dw. Gdański"). The airport is located about 10 km south form the center of the city. Bus trip takes about 25 min. to the city center and about 30-35 min. to the conference site located at Warsaw University, 26/28 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street (bus stop "Uniwersytet", also for Harenda and Victoria hotels). For Ibis hotel -- bus stop "Muranowska" (about 35-40 min. from the airport). Below see the photo of the main gate of Warsaw University campus where the conference registration will be open since Sunday, September 11th, from 14:00 till 21:00 and through all the conference days from 8:00 till 19:00.  The main gate of Warsaw University campus. The bus No. 175 also stops in front of the Warsaw Central Railway Station (see Polish Railway company web site: http://www.pkp.pl) where all the international trains arrive (south exit, bus stop across Jerozolimskie Street in front of the Marriott Hotel/LOT Airline Office). The single fare ticket valid for all bus, tram, and subway day lines is 2,40 PLN and can be purchased in all newspaper kiosks. The ticket can also be obtained from bus driver (cash only, additional administrative charge of 0.60 PLN). Variety of other special tickets (e.g., 24 hours, 3-day, one-week) is also available. For details on public transportation system, tariffs, and regulations see Warsaw Transportation Authority (ZTM) web page http://www.ztm.waw.pl. Further information concerning the City of Warsaw, in particular the map of Warsaw, you can find at the web-pages: http://www.e-warsaw.pl or http://www.warsawtour.pl. The TAXI service is available at the airport (follow the TAXI sign outside the airport building) and the Central Railway Station. To avoid overcharging, we advice you to use one of the following Taxi companies operating in Warsaw: MPT Taxi (phone number 9191), Super Taxi (9622), Sawa Taxi (644 4444) or Taxi Merc (677 7777). For the cost estimate 2 PLN/1 kilometer fare can be used. For ordering taxi by mobile phone dial 48-22 before the number given above. The time zone of Poland is Central European Time (one hour ahead of GMT). The Polish currency is zloty (PLN): 1 PLN=100 gr (grosz). The current exchange rate to Euro is: 1 EUR =4.1 PLN. One can easily change major foreign currencies to zloty in banks and many exchange offices (Kantor).
