PRISMAS meeting

The main purpose of this PRISMAS meeting is to review and discuss the state of the art of the theoretical chemical models, the modeling of the source emission & absorption spectra, the observing plans and data processing strategy of the Herschel PRISMAS Programme.

In order to better organize the meeting we ask you to fill in the

Registration Form by November 13th.

Here a list of registerd participants. In case you registered yourself and you don't appear in this list, try to submit the registration again or contact us.
