FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
                MCS-03

THIRD MEDITERRANEAN COMBUSTION SYMPOSIUM
       Marrakech, Morocco, June 8-13, 2003

OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

The symposium is the third in a series on combustion and related topics,
held by the scientific communities from countries around the
Mediterranean.The first Mediterranean Combustion Symposium was
held in Antalya, Turkey,June 1999 while the second took place
in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, January 2002. In the last Symposium
80 papers and 8 plenary lectures presented by eminent scientists
made the symposium a very successful scientific event.
Many of the contributed papers will appear in special issues of
"Combustion Science and Technology" and "Experimental Thermal and Fluid
Science" Journals as it was for the first symposium. The MCS aims
at the common efforts of the scientific communities from countries around
the Mediterranean Sea in soliciting works and promoting the participation
of scientists, engineers and students from the same area. Participants
from all countries of the world are welcome and submission of papers from
groups not located in this region is greatly appreciated since it is
considered a valuable contribution to enrich different points of view as
well as to communicate last achievements in the field. All topics and all
the scientific/technological approaches in the combustion field are
pertinent to this Symposium. The organizing committee and the colloquia
co-chairs composed of international experts in various disciplines of
combustion. The technical program will consist of invited lectures by
eminent specialists from all over the world, oral presentation of the
contributed papers and posters of the work-in-progress.
