    TH-2002 will cover main domains of Theoretical Physics with
    emphasis on recent developments.

    At the UNESCO, it will follow the International Conferences
    on Mathematical Physics and on Statistical Physics organised
    in 1994 and 1998 with 1000 and 1850 participants respectively.
    We expect 1000-1500 participants for TH-2002.

    Information and registration on our web server.
    Registration fees:  225 euros, reduced fees (students, other
    participants upon request): 115 euros, including book of
    abstracts, proceedings, "coffee breaks", reception-cocktail,...
    Conditions speciales pour les scientifiques francais de
    certaines institutions: voir site web.

    Accommodation. Hotel Ibis: 50 euros per night (single), 28 euros
    per person in double room, incl. breakfasts. Student residences:
    135 euros for full week (7 nights) single, 90 in double room.
