The 16th Ultrafast Phenomena Conference will take place on June 9-13 2008 at Stresa (Maggiore Lake) Italy.
Located in a central position along the lakeside roadway Stresa is a renowned international tourist resort as well as an important place for cultural manifestations and meetings.

The Conference will cover multi-disciplinary topics from generation of ultrashort pulses in the picosecond, femtosecond, and attosecond regimes and their applications to studies of ultrafast phenomena in physics, chemistry, material science, electronics, biology, engineering, and medical applications. In addition, submissions involving real world applications of ultrafast technology are encouraged. A tabletop exhibit featuring leading companies will be held in conjunction with the meeting.

More information about the conference and site can be found at http://www.ultraphenomena.org. The meeting is organized by the European Physical Society (EPS) in cooperation with OSA. Summary and Abstract Deadline: January 16 2008.
