LOR2006: FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

We hereby invite you to participate in the

O'Raifeartaigh Symposium on Non-Perturbative and Symmetry Methods in Field Theory

scheduled to take place during 22-24 June, 2006 at the  KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics in Budapest.

The conference is held to commemorate Lochlainn O'Raifeartaigh (1933-2000) and his important contributions to physics. It is a modest follow-up to the 2002 Dublin Memorial Conference.

The meeting will provide opportunity for an exchange of ideas concerning non-perturbative and symmetry methods in field theory and related areas of investigation, and will also serve to strengthen the coherence of the `virtual community' of researchers who had direct or indirect association with Professor O'Raifeartaigh during their career. A strong representation of established scientists and their students from this virtual community is expected. For logistical reasons, the number of participants will be bounded from above by 50.

The conference will be located in Hotel Agro on the 22nd of June and at the RMKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics on the 23rd and 24th of June. Both places can be found at the top of Szechenyi Hill in a forest area. Hotel Agro will also serve as accommodation for the participants.

Registration is via email only. If you wish to participate then send an email to the organizers to the address

Please indicate your arrival and departure dates and whether you would like to present a talk.

Janos Balog, Laszlo Feher and Zalan Horvath (local organizers)
