The Scientific Council of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) on Radio-Physics and Microwave Electronics, IEEE AP/MTT/ED/AES/GRS/NPS/EMB Societies East Ukraine Joint Chapter and Young Scientists Council of the A.Ya. Usikov Institute for Radiophysics and Electronics (IRE) NASU announce a two-day Workshop on Applied Electrodynamics of High-T_c Superconductors and Microwave Electronics. The Workshop will be hosted by IRE NASU on 22-23 May 2003 in Kharkov – the leading scientific center and the second largest city of Ukraine.

 Scientific Program: The Workshop program will accommodate invited-paper oral sessions and poster sessions on microwave electromagnetics of HTS, vortex dynamics, new HTS – MgB₂,, microcontact and tunnel HTS spectroscopy, microwave characterization of HTS, transport properties of high-T_c superconductors, phase transitions in superconductors and microwave HTS-based devices and circuits. We welcome poster contributions from young scientists (under 35) to any of the above-mentioned fields. Preliminary list of invited talks is as follows:
