Dear All

This is just a reminder to say that a limited fund is still available to 
support PhD students wishing to attend the INTIMATE10 meeting in Oxford 
in September. Please contact Wim Hoek to apply for student support. Also 
the abstract deadline is tomorrow (26th June) and the final registration 
deadline is the 11th of July.

Many Thanks

Simon
