Positive respons for ESOF2004
We are pleased to see the positive response that we get from all over Europe concerning ESOF2004, a forum that will bring people together for a dialogue on science from all fields, initiated by the scientists themselves. A lot of you seem to think that this interdisciplinary event is a new and unique challenge!

Together we create an inspiring and exciting event!
Our intention is to create an inspiring and exciting open forum of highest quality in a challenging, new format. To ensure this we invite individuals and organisations, within the scientific community as well as outside it, to submit their best ideas in form of proposals for sessions. Potential themes and texts, selected by the ESOF2004 Programme Committee, to stimulate thoughts on creation of sessions are found at esof2004.org. You can create and submit your proposals on-line at our site. The proposals must be submitted 15 September, 2003, at the latest!
