At the same time by representing contributions from delegates from 37 countries, these papers give quite a good picture of the broad international participation (more than 70 countries) at the conference.

Publication on CD-ROM?
We are still working actively to find funding for publication of a CD-ROM version. This publication is planned to include abstracts, papers, the full programs (social and cultural as well as the academic program), and a selection of press and media coverage of the event. By early spring, we will probably be able to tell you more about this.

Please remark:

• The delegates’ addresses are removed from the papers.
• The papers on this page are presented in PDF-format and you need the Acrobat reader to read them.
