GENERAL
The goal of the workshop is to bring together experimentalists and theoreticians as well as people from different disciplines like chemists, physicists, electronic engineers and material scientists all working on the problem of electron transfer and electron transmission at interfaces.
We intend to pay particular attention to the inter-relationship between interface structure and dynamics and its electron transmission properties.
We especially encourage students to participate. We are offering a special reduced rate for students, to allow exposure for many of them to the new and fast growing field of research.

The Workshop will take place at Maagan Holiday Village, overlooking the Sea of Galilee Sessions will start on Sunday evening, December 13 until Thursday noon, December 17, 1998.
