                                      on
                  "PERSPECTIVES IN EUROPEAN NUCLEAR ASTROPHYSICS"

    Dear participants,

  Thanks to all for an enthusiastic response. In this Second Circular,
  you will find updates on the accomodation at the Parador, transportation
  to and from the Parador, as well as on the scientific organization of
  the Workshop.

  We encourage all participants to visit the Workshop's web page for
  additional details and updates:

  MEETING SITE & ACCOMODATION
  ___________________________

  Accomodation at the Parador d'Aiguablava has been arranged for all
  attendees (http://www.paradores-spain.com/spain/paiguablava.html)
  according to their registration forms. Please, take a minute to
  check your registration and notify any variation on your dates of
  arrival or departure at your earliest convenience. We would like to
  remind you that the Workshop will start early on wednesday June 8,
  and also that a "get-together" dinner has been arranged for the
  evening of June 7. Transportation from Barcelona to the Parador will
  be available for all interested participants the afternoon of June 7
  (details will soon be available at the Workshop's web page. Those
  traveling to Aiguablava by car or flying to Girona's airport will
  also find details about how to reach the Parador in the Workshop's
  web page). Traveling to Aiguablava with public transportation is not
  straightforward and therefore, we strongly encourage all
  participants to take advantage of the bus provided by the
  Organization.

  Meals at the Parador's restaurant (from June 7 dinner to June 10
  lunch) as well as coffee breaks will be provided, free of charge,
  for all invited participants [the cost of full board accomodation at
  the Parador -including coffee breaks and rental of the meeting room-
  during the workshop is 504 Euros (406 Euros per person for those
  wishing to share a double room)]. As stated in the First Circular,
  we plan to close the Workshop on friday, June 10, after lunch (a bus
  will be available to bring back all interested participants to
  Barcelona that evening).  Accompanying persons that do not
  participate in the workshop will have to cover their own expenses
  (406 euros per person for full board accomodation during the
  workshop).

  A fee of 150 euros will be requested to all participants of the
  workshop (for those sharing a double room with a participant, a
  reduced fee of 50 euros will be requested).


  PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
  ___________________

  Five one-hour REVIEW talks have been arranged to encourage vivid
  discussions and to provide a framework for the different Working
  Group meetings. These will be organized by the corresponding
  coordinators (see http://www.cyc.ucl.ac.be/CARINA/wg.html ), who
  will arrange a number of short talks during the WG meetings upon
  request. Do not hesitate to contact the corresponding coordinators
  of your research area if you are interested to give a talk. A
  summary of the different WG activities will be presented by the
  coordinators during the last day of the Workshop.
