    The Academic Committee (to be formed in 2001), will propose the set of Invited Speakers in topics of interest by early Autumn 2003.

    There will be three Plenary Sessions during the mornings, an ample Latin midday break for swimming or siesta, and Parallel Sessions of 20 and 30 min, afternoon to evening. Posters will be given two half-afternoons, and Wednesday afternoon will be devoted to a group excursion.

TOPICS: Many of the topics have stabilized during the last Colloquia. There is interest in new applications to optics, molecular physics and chaotic systems. Plus the areas that will appear during the 2002 Paris meeting. A preliminary and assorted list:

*   Lie groups, representation theory and special functions
*   Wave, quantum and nonlinear optics
*   Nuclear, atomic and molecular physics
*   Foundations of quantum mechanics
*  Discrete systems and signal analysis
*   Quasiprobability distribution functions on phase space
*   Elementary particle physics
*   Superstrings and quantum gravity
*   Quantum groups and noncommutative geometry
*   Integrable Hamiltonian systems
*   Nonlinear systems and quantum chaos
*   Condensed matter and statistical physics
