Dear all

Thank you very much for all of you which have contributed either for the
announcement forwarding either for the contributions submited to the RIVA
conference organized by SOPORVAC and ASEVA and endorsed by IUVSTA. Please see
the updated information concerning short courses and invited speakers below.
We have received a very large number of excellent contributions from
worldwide! We will have very interesting invited lectures and several high
quality educational/technical short courses.
If you missed the previous announcements there is still time to send your
abstract!

Regards and see you in Guimaraes-Portugal in September 2005
