Liquid/Solid Interfaces in Helium

Sponsored by the

European Science Foundation

The purpose of this mini-symposium is to gather experimentalists and theorists working or planning to work with various interfacial properties of helium crystals. The meetings will take place at Helsinki University of Technology, Physics Building and the lectures will be given in Auditorium F1.
