CONFERENCE VENUECONFERENCE FEE

The conference will be held at the Copenhagen
Admiral Hotel (4 stars) located in an uniquely
preserved grain-drying pine wood warehousefrom 1787 situated directly at the waterfront in
the heart of Copenhagen.

The early bird conference fee will be announced
in the 2nd circular (November 2007), but isexpected to be around € 400 including morning
coffee with pastry and lunch buffet butexcluding accommodation.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The hotel is neighbor to the Amalienborg Castle(the Queen's Palace, with the Guard changing atnoon when the Queen is in residence), andNyhavn - the best restaurant and entertainment
district in the city. Located opposite the harboris the new Opera House and Strøget - the mainpedestrian and shopping street – are located ashort walk away along with famous tourist
attractions like, e.g. The Little Mermaid (0.7km), The Parliament - Christiansborg Castle (0.7km) and Tivoli Gardens (2.7 km).

ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation at reduced rate at theconference venue, Copenhagen Admiral Hotel,
will be offered to participants upon registration
with some rooms available for hosting 3 people
at reduced rate per person. Alternative
neighbouring hotel offers will be announced
later.
Depending on the sponsorship situation persons
in need may apply for support towards travel,conference fee and accommodation.

Denmark has its own currency – the Danish
Crown (DKK). The current exchange rate is: 1 €= 7.5 DKK.
We urge participants (including accompanyingpersons) from outside the EU, US and Japan indue time to check if a visa is necessary to enter
Denmark. If so, do not hesitate to contact thelocal organizers to receive an invitation letteretc.

1ST CIRCULARSCOPEORGANIZING COMMITTEETOPICAL THEMES

Ionic media have made great scientific progressin recent years. Both fields, molten salts andionic liquids, have contributed to new
fundamental insight into the structure,dynamics, reactivity, electrochemistry, interfacial and thermodynamic properties of these
Coulombic fluids and the advances have allowed
the exploration of new research areas and therealization of new technical applications.

CHAIRS
R. Fehrmann
Tech. Univ. Denmark (DK)
P. Wasserscheid (vice) Univ. Erlangen (GER)

The meeting will consider molten salts and ionicliquids under the joint headline of Coulombic
fluids with the main focus on applications. Thus
no topical sessions will be established in terms of
the individual concepts, rather contributions aresought within the following topical themes:

The present meeting aims to provide a forum to
discuss the state-of-the-art in molten salt andionic liquid research in the summer 2008 and topromote future perspectives of ionic media used
for academic and industrial purposes.

INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY BOARDIn further developing the scientific concept ofthe last EUCHEM Conference on Molten Salts
and Ionic Liquids in Hammamet, Tunisia in
2006, applied research on ionic media should be
the greater part of the conference. However, as
all reasonable applied approaches need to be
based on an in-depth understanding of thephysicochemical properties, all important
advances in the fundamental understanding ofthese Coulombic fluids will remain a very
important part of the scientific programme.
