A large conference on supernovae (SNe), Gamma-Ray Bursters (GRBs),
and related phenomena will be held on April 22-26, 2003 in Valencia,
Spain, for the occasion of the tenth anniversary of SN 1993J. In the
conference, all aspects of supernova and GRB research will be
covered: theoretical aspects like nucleosynthesis and explosion
mechanisms, progenitor stars, pulsar and SNR formation, interaction
with the circumstellar medium, particle acceleration mechanisms...
And observational aspects including IR, optical, radio, X-ray, and
gamma-ray. Supernova and GRB cosmology will also be covered.
Attendance will be limited to 300 participants by the capacity of
the Auditorium of the Museum of Science (Museo de las Ciencias
Pr$ByO(Jcipe Felipe), where the conference will take place. The
Auditorium is outfitted with the most modern technology and each
seat will have at all times fast direct access to internet.
The Museum of Science is an outstanding example of modern
architecture, and part of a larger Science and Arts complex (please,
see http://vsnet.cac.es ). The complex is within the city limits of
Valencia (population 800,000) surrounded by the Valencia
metropolitan area with 1.5 million people on the shore of the
Mediterranean Sea and equidistant from Madrid and Barcelona.
