Second Announcement

First successful dynamo experiments performed in Riga and Karlsruhe in 2000 have opened a new epoch in dynamo research, when theoretical considerations and astrophysical observations can be supported by laboratory experiments. A new generation of dynamo experiments is in preparation at several physical centers. Some of the experiments are expected to start very soon. During the last COST Meeting on Dynamo (Paris, 22-23 January 2004) it was suggested to organize in a year a meeting in Perm, where one of dynamo experiments is soon starting. The aim of the meeting is to bring together experts in dynamo experiments, dynamo theories and astrophysical applications to discuss new and proposed dynamo experiments in the context of astrophysical dynamos.
