   The Organizing and Program Committees invite you to take part in the XXI Russian Accelerator Conference. The Conference is biannual and collects researchers and specialists in all domains of accelerators physics and engineering and their applications.

   At the moment there are about 180 registered participants from Russian and foreign institutions. The presented reports can be found on the Conference site. 

   The Conference will take place in the comfortable pension “Zvenigorodskiy RAN” (70 km west from Moscow). The pension is situated in a picturesque country place near  Moskva river. The oral sessions will be held  in the conference hall of the main building. Additional halls are planned for poster sessions. Internet connections for participants will be provided in a separate room.  

   The Conference program includes invited review reports (30 min), oral presentations (20 min), and poster reports (140 x 70 cm) sessions. The official languages of the Conference are Russian and English.  All demonstrating materials of oral reports as well as poster reports are to be in English to avoid the translation problems. The conference hall will be equipped with a standard overhead and multimedia projector. For use of the latter the reporters may use their own notebook or (preferably) submit their reports in Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2000 format on a CD disk or flash  memory device. In all cases (but overhead presentation) it is necessary to check after uploading the compatibility of the files with the equipment and software. The secretaries of your sessions will be of help, if necessary. Materials not presented for the Conference (oral and written) will not be published in the Proceedings.

All participants will get a CD copy of the Proceedings. Admitted reports (1 electron +1 hard copy) should be handed to the Program Committee on the first day of the Conference. The reports from the FSU countries have to satisfy the existing  rules. Electron versions should meet the JACoW requirements (see http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/accelconf/.) 

   The main part of the participants is expected to stay at the pension “Zvenigorodskiy RAN” For preliminary booking it is necessary to inform the Organizing Committee about desirable conditions.
