2003

Dear all participants,

Since a kind of unspecified pneumonia named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is spreading in China and many participants of the SPACE WEATHER CONFERENCE for CHINESE & OVERSEAS 2003 expressed their attention to the affair, to ensure the participants against unnecessary risks, after consulting with related experts and associations and get their permission, the International Organizing Committee and the Local Organizing Committee of SPACE WEATHER CONFERENCE for CHINESE & OVERSEAS 2003 decide to postpone the conference from August 5, 2003 ~ August 11, 2003 to the time period of August 3, 2004 ~ August 10, 2004 (nine days after the closing of the 35th COSPAR Conference to be held in Paris, France from July 18, 2004 to July 24, 2004). We believe the postponement is the wisest action for the indistinct actual state, also we understand this decision may cause the participants various inconvenience in their traveling arrangements. Herein we make apologize for the compulsory suspension to all participants, and expect to get understanding and support from all.

We suggest that all participants pay attention to the new date of the conference and take no action for the moment. We will provide update information on the web site: http://www.spaceweather.ac.cn, and inform all participants through emails. Please feel free to contact with us by sending email to: qlfan@spaceweather.ac.cn.

With deep apology to all, we earnestly hope that the threat of SARS in China will be relieved as soon as possible and all participants will come to FuJian (Mt. Wuyi) for the conference lightheartedly.

 Look forward to meeting you then.
