The 13th International Conference on Transport Theory (the biennial “Blacksburg Conference”) was held May 10–14, 1993, in Riccione, Italy. These meetings, which began in Blacksburg in 1969, were held there also in ‘73, ‘75, ‘77, ‘83 and ‘89. They may not return until the thirtieth anniversary year 1999, since the ‘95 meeting is scheduled for Beijing and the ‘97 meeting is tentatively scheduled for Goteborg. Stay tuned to this channel for further information-it should appear in the summary of the ‘95 conference, which will be the twelfth in the series of summaries which have been published in this journal every year since 1973. The proceedings of this conference, the second held in Italy (the first was in Montecatini Terme in 1985) will also appear in this journal, sometime in the future.
