Dear Colleagues,

The JENAM 2007 in Erevan is now over, and it is already time to think
 about the JENAM 2008 (see below).
But before that, we would like to thank Areg Mickaelian and his
team for a successfull and well organised meeting, which gathered
well over 200 participants. Most impressive was the participation of
a wealth of armenian students, so that this meeting was also
important  for the future of armenian astronomy and the development
of new collaborations.
Many thanks again. And loooking forward to see you all again in
Vienna for the JENAM 2008.
Michel Dennefeld

JENAM 2008 in Vienna  Call for proposals

The next JENAM 2008 will take place from September 9-12, 2008, in
Vienna. It will be jointly organized by the Astronomische Gesellschaft, the European Astronomical Society and the Oesterreichische Gesellschaft fuer Astronomie und Astrophysik.
During this meeting, a number of JENAM Symposia with a typical length
of 1.5 - 2 days will be held.
A JENAM Synposium should have a well-defined and scientifically relevant topic. JENAM symposia should  typically have several review talks and a number of contributed talks.

We would like to ask the community to send proposals for JENAM symposia.
The proposal should contain the title of the symposium, a short description of the scientific content, three or four names for a Scientific Organising Committee, and names of possible review speakers.

The proposals for symposia will be reviewed and selected by the Scientific Organizing Committee of JENAM (Co-chairs: Gerd Hensler, Vienna; Sabine Schindler, Innsbruck).

Proposals should be sent to the co-chairs of the SOC
Gerd Hensler (hensler@astro.univie.ac.at) and
Sabine Schindler (Sabine.Schindler@uibk.ac.at)
as well as to the secretary of the EAS
Elias Brinks (E.Brinks@herts.ac.uk
