Dear colleague, 


we are pleased to inform you that the initial attempt to organize a 
meeting on Information Theory and Cryptography, in Valladolid, next 
autumn, is now taking shape. 

Following the excellent idea of the winter school in Denmark, we intend 
to create a meeting point for experts in the fields and students who 
are now starting their research activity. The idea would be that the 
experts could give survey talks on different subjects, while the 
students could present their current works.

We would like you to join us if possible, giving a survey talk and/or  
encouraging some of your students to come. 

The meeting will be held  in 'Castillo de la Mota', a medieval castle 
in Medina del Campo (about 30 km south of Valladolid), from the 6th to 
the 8th of September 1999.   

The inscription fee that will include the lodging expenses (nights from 
the 5th to the 7th) and all the meals (from the breakfast on the 6th, 
up to lunch on the 8th) will be about 20000 pesetas (approximately 120 
Euros). 

Due to space limitations in the castle, the number of particiants must 
be limited to around 30, hence we would greatly appreciate an early 
response telling us the number of interested people from your 
institution. 

Looking forward to meeting you here. Our best regards




Angela Barbero 

(on behalf of the Organizing Committee)
