Subject: Science Workshop update
Dear Participant,
We are now only two weeks away from the Science Workshop "Variable
and Broad Iron Lines around Black Holes". We have roughly 60
registered participants. The programme looks very promising and we
have all reason to believe that the meeting could result in
interesting and active discussion in several areas.
This mail contains a number of important practical informations and
is supposed to be the final announcement.
The conference web site has been updated and will always show
latest information, so please check by:

1. There is practical info on how to get to ESAC.
