The meeting will be held in a modern con- ference hotel complex (Hotel Mosel- park) in the medieval Moselle wine village of Bernkastel-Kues Germany from July 3-8 1994.On July 3 a one- day introductory course on RIS physics is planned for students in particular. The conference site is easily reached by rail road and by air via Frankfurt Luxembourg or Cologne airports. Symposium topics will include the theory of light matter interaction; pic0 and femtosecond spectroscopy; atomic ionization spectroscopy; molecular ionization spectroscopy; analytical and environmental applications; ultra-sen- sitive methods; nuclear applications; surface and bulk analysis; chemical applications; biological and medical applications; atomic molecular and ion sources; laser sources; and new techniques and exotic applications.
