The objective of the society is to engage in all activities intended to promote in Europe the development of mechanics as a branch of science and engineering. Mechanics deals with motion, flow and deformation of matter, be it fluid or solid, under the action of applied forces, and with any associated phenomena.

The next European Fluid Mechanics Conference will be held in Toulouse (France) from August 24 to August 28, 2003. This conference, organised under the auspices of EUROMECH by the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse, will be the fifth in the series started in Cambridge in 1991 and continued in Warsaw (1994), Göttingen (1997) and Eindhoven (2000). The conference will cover the whole field of Fluid Dynamics, ranging from very fundamental aspects to recent applications. This conference will provide a unique opportunity for fluid dynamicists to see what is going on in this very active field in Europe and to exchange their views on recent developments. The conference will comprise invited lectures, oral presentations, poster sessions, and three mini-symposia dealing with selected topics. Selection of papers will be made on the basis of a one-page abstract. Following the general policy of EUROMECH Conferences, no proceedings will be published.

22^th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON SURFACE SCIENCE (ECOSS-22)

Scope of the Workshop:
· microscopic approaches
· large-scale modeling of surface diffusion
· clusters and nanostructures
· growth of nanostructures
· sputtering and etching
· chemical reactions, catalysis
· diffusion in biological systems
· molecular assembly on surfaces

· Surface structure, morphology, roughness and topography
· Diffusion, dynamics and growth at surfaces

· Magnetic interfaces
· Small particles, clusters and nanostructures
· Electronic structure of low dimensional systems
· Organic molecules on surfaces
· Adsorption, chemisorption and surface reactions
· Surface thermodynamics and phase transitions
· Nanotribology
· Heteroepitaxy and surface alloying
· Techniques: surface and interface microscopy and spectroscopy

The International Workshop on Surface Physics is intended to replace the International Seminar on Surface Physics that was organized by the Institute of Experimental Physics of the University of Wroclaw in the years 1976 - 2000. During the last few years it has become clear that the original formula of the Seminar, which was intended as a platform for exchange of ideas between the scientist from the "East" and "West", is exhausted.
We decided to switch the formula to a more typical workshop gathering surfacists, experimentalists and theoreticians, working on rapidly developing research field of surface science. The program of the Workshop is built around 10-12 invited talks presented by the world leader scientists. Certain number of contributed papers (10) will be selected for oral (20 min.) presentations and the other will be displayed as posters. Proceedings of the meeting will be published.
There will be ample time for discussion. Emphasis will be put on the creation of maximum opportunities for informal discussion and the facilitating of direct person-to-person exchanges of ideas about new developement. The idea is to encourage stronger contacts between the young scientists and the senior figures of various fields. There will be young scientists presentations.

The theme of the oncoming workshop will be:

Metals on Solid Surfaces

and will cover following topics:

· Surface topography
· Metallic nanostructures on surface
· Electronic structure and properties
· Interatomic interactions on surfaces
· Surface alloying and mixing

Up to date the following scientist have agreed to provide talks:
· Ernst Bauer (Tempe, USA)
· Harald Brune (Lausanne, Switzerland)
· Harald Ibach (Juelich, Germany)
· Mieczyslaw Jalochowski (Krakow, Poland)
· Bengt Lundqvist (Goeteborg, Sweden)
· Theodore Madey (Rutgers, USA)
· Vladimir Matolin (Prague, Czech Republic)
· Anton Naumovets (Kiev, Ukraine)
· Herbert Pfnuer (Hannover, Germany)
· Marek Szymonski (Cracow, Poland)
· Ugo Valbusa (Genova, Italy)
· Klaus Wandelt (Bonn, Germany)

The workshop is supposed to be a satellite meeting to the 22nd European Conference on Surface Science to be held in Prague, 7 - 12 September 2003. The format of the Workshop will be limited to about 100 - 120 participants. The venue of the Workshop will be Polanica Zdroj a small spa town located midway between Wroclaw and Prague (some 160 km from Prague), on the Polish side of the border.

Sustainable Product Engineering of Bournemouth University Research Centre and the University of Oviedo in Spain at this conference will deal with the Characteristics of Interacting Surfaces; A Key Factor in Sustainable and Economic Products.

Objectives
The objectives are to highlight the issues of wear and friction between interacting surfaces in relative motion as well as the effect lubrication has on these interacting surfaces which are a prerequisite for product function, quality and cost. These characteristics have environmental as well as life cycle consequences which emphasise the importance their consideration has during the early stages of product design.

It is the purpose of this conference to draw together expertise in this multi-disciplinary field to assist in a better understanding of the issues relating to tribological characteristics so that they can be addressed early in the product design stage.

Conference Topics
Papers are invited on the topics listed below and other which fall within the general scope of the conference:

• Life-orientated Products
• Sustainable Product Development
• Product Life Design Tools
• Life Cycle Assessment for Optimised Products
• Energy Studies in Product Use Phase
• Environmental Impact Assessmen
• Surface Quality
• Surface Engineering
• Lubricants
• Advanced Materials
• Analytical Studies
• Test Methods

Exhibition Facilities
