We cordially invite you to participate in the sixth "Vienna Central European Seminar on Particle Physics and Quantum Field Theory", which will take place at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Vienna, Boltzmanngasse 5, A-1090 Vienna, from Friday November 27 to Sunday November 29, 2009. This year, Effective Field Theories has been chosen as subject.

We would like to inform you about the deadlines for all applications:

The new seminar series "Vienna Central European Seminar on Particle Physics and Quantum Field Theory" was created in 2004 and is intended to provide stimulating interactions between leading researchers and promising junior physicists. A considerable number of junior scientists participate in these meetings, and we receive special grants for them.

Furthermore, we are creating a platform for junior scientists: Speakers are selected from among them, discussion rounds and poster sessions are held. The innovative character of the meetings is especially important to us, and scientific contacts and collaborations are enhanced.

The "Vienna Central European Seminar on Particle Physics and Quantum Field Theory" serves as a forum for coordinating conferences, schools and graduate courses in the Central European region. Please see the webpage http://cepgc.phy.hr/ for information on the "Central European Joint Program of Doctoral Studies in Theoretical Physics". Nine Central European universities and institutions have joined in a collaboration to strengthen and develop their Ph.D. programmes.

The seminar is supported by

The High Energy Physics Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences

The Erwin Schrödinger International Institute of Mathematical Physics

The Vienna University of Technology

The Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna

The Vienna Convention Bureau.

More information on the application procedures will be available in the "2nd announcement", forthcoming in April.

We remain with sincere regards,

Yours,
