         International Symposium
   "The Universe Viewed in Gamma-rays
     --- Univ. Tokyo Workshop 2002 ---"
   September 25-28, 2002, Kashiwa, Chiba, Japan

[[[ Outline ]]]
"The Universe viewed in gamma-rays ---The University of Tokyo
Workshop 2002---" will be held on September 25-28, 2002 in
Kashiwa, Chiba, Japan. The purpose of this symposium is to discuss
 the new views of the universe grasped mainly in the rapidly
developing high energy gamma-ray astrophysics in the energy range
above 10 GeV. New ground-based observatories of very high energy
gamma-rays are being built, energy threshold are being lowered, and
stereoscopic observations with new telescopes will be started soon.
 The symposium will cover observational and theoretical aspects of
 Galactic and extragalactic sources of gamma-rays which contribute
to the existence of nonthermal particles in the universe.
Information of the photons in other energy regime is mandatory to
uncover the secret of very high energy phenomena in the universe
and multiwavelength campaigns will be also. This symposium is
hosted by ICRR, University of Tokyo and sponsored by the Ministry
of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.

PC
or on CD-R / MS PowerPoint, MS Word, MS Publisher, PDF,
HTML formats are preferred) of your presentation beforehand
or at the Symposium. These will be posted to the Symposium
Website afterwards for a convenience of participants and community.

Note 1. You can use the file you sent for presentation with a PC
prepared
 by LOC, but you may want to bring your notebook PC to
 avoid possible compatibility problems [font, format etc.])
Note 2. You can send your file to Ms Kobayashi by e-mail as a
 MIME-attachment file, or you can show us a URL to access your file.
Note 3. LOC will prepare a USB flash memory to transfer files on site:
 this will utilize USB1.1 port and can be used if you are using
 Windows Me, 2000 or XP without installing drivers.

[[[ Proceedings ]]]
The Symposium proceedings will be published as a hardcover book.
Both invited talks and contributed papers will be included. Authors are
required to prepare a camera-ready manuscript. Electronic submission is
preferred (the details will be informed at the Symposium). The deadline
for
submission will be November 30, 2002.
