Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to inform you about the dates for the two related meetings being organized by the Asia-Pacific EPR/ESR Society and the respective Local Organizing Committees (LOCs) together with local institutions.

1. The Asia-Pacific EPR/ESR Symposium – 2003 (APES’03) will to be held from November 17, 2003 to November 20, 2003 at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.

Following the tradition of previous APE Symposia held in Hong Kong (1997), Hangzhou (1999), and Kobe (2001), APES’03 aims to cover all sub-areas of EPR/ESR and is open to participants not only from the countries in the Asia-Pacific region but also from all over the world.

2. Prior to the APES’03 a Satellite School: “International School on EPR Spectroscopy and Free Radical Research”, will be held during Nov 11-15, 2003 at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai.

The School is aimed at young researchers and the number of places is limited. Experts in various areas of EPR will give several lectures on pertinent topics.
