AN INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE

Scientists and practitioners in all areas of psychology and the life
sciences are invited to consider attending and presenting their work at
the International Nonlinear Sciences Conference to be held in Vienna,
Austria, on February 7, 8, and 9, 2003.  See the Call for Papers for
information about proposing talks, workshops, and symposia.

The three-day event is intended to be a working conference, with ample
opportunity for participants to interact and to share ideas and new
findings.

The goal of the conference is to engage an international group of
researchers and practitioners in an exchange of ideas about the dramatic
new ways nonlinear science is impacting in our diverse fields.

Each conference day will include sessions devoted to the newest advances
in nonlinear science and practice, as well as sessions devoted to the
presentation and discussion of attendee¹s contributions.  Uniquely
Viennese social events are planned for the evenings, as are presentations
by specially invited speakers.   Programs for accompanying persons will
also be available.

The meetings will be held in newly renovated classrooms of the historic
Vienna University located in downtown Vienna, close to the many cultural
and historic attractions Vienna has to offer, including the Opera House
and world-famous coffee houses.  Weather in Vienna in February is cold,
but usually sunny and pleasant. 
Arrangements have been made for inexpensive accommodations in apartments
vacated by students during winter break; a range of levels of apartment
accommodations will be available; off-season rates will also be in effect
at downtown hotels.  Off-season airfares are also usually available from
North and South America in February.  Arrangements for discounted trips to
Eastern Europe, or extended stays in Austria, will also be available for
participants wishing to combine conference activities with a winter
holiday.

The conference is being hosted by the Austrian Dynamics-Complexity-Human
Systems Society, and is co-sponsored by the Society for Chaos Theory in
Psychology and Life Sciences, and a growing list of European institutions
and societies.  An international Program Committee of distinguished
researchers and practitioners is developing program details, and financial
support for programs is actively being sought from several sources.
