SMASH 2009 is returning to the
Le
Majestic Centre de Congrès in
Chamonix, France
from September 20th through September 23rd.
Chamonix is located 85 km southeast of Geneva in the Alps, but don't
worry the altitude is only about 1000 meters. Chamonix is a
popular destination for skiing, in fact it was the site of the First
Winter Olympics Games in 1924. There is plenty to see and do
during the late summer too. You can take the Aiguille du
Midi cable car to top station at 3824 meters. There is hiking,
biking, mountain climbing, many other
activities.
SMASH is pleased
to offer a substantial discount to student attendees. Students must provide proof of their status by
faxing in a copy of their student ID to Robert Espina at 484-865-9404, see
the registration information page for
more details.

number of stipends for students or graduate who currently hold an
academic post-doctorate position. For details and to apply please

itself will start on Monday morning and run through to Wednesday noon.
There will be several workshops offered as well as an interesting line up
