The technical focus of the conference is on physical properties of matter under extreme conditions at high pressures and temperatures, as well as on physics of phenomena arising from the interaction of intense energy fluxes with condensed matter. Invited plenary talks and contributed presentations in oral and poster sessions are planed. The conference will provide for the possibility of non-formal discussions, communications and co-operations.

Conference Language

The conference languages are English (obligatory for all letters, abstracts, articles, posters, presentations and preferably for talks) and Russian (optionally for talks; simultaneous interpreter will be provided).

It is recommended to visit Mount Elbrus by an elevator for seeing the Greater Caucasus Range with eternal snow from Old Krugozor (3000 m) and Mir (3500 m) stations.
