FORTHCOMING EVENTS VI EUROPEAN CONFERENCE THERMOPHVSICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS-RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS With the forthcoming 6th Conference, European Thermophysical Properties Conference are celebratina their tenth aniversary of successful e;tistence. Starting with Germany (Baden Baden in 19681, through Great Britain (Salfordl, Italy (Turin), France [Orleans) and USSR (Moscow), the Conferences have been building their reputation and authority, stimulatina interest for thermoohvsical properties” researoh in different countries. The scooe of ETP Conferences encompases experimental and theoretical studies of substances, with special emphasi,s on solids and liquids at high temperatures. Their objective is to bring together researchers and users in the field of thermophysical properties, and orovide a forum for the exchariae of information and ideas. The 6th ETP Conference, that will take pl.ace in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia on July, 1978, is devoted to thermophysical and thermodynamic properties, transport phenomena and phase transitions of solids and liquids, including gaseous phase near transition, i.e. vaporization or sublimation, at high temperatures primarily. Contributions dealing with experimental results, theoretical aspects and measuring techniques will be accepted, as well as data on new materials, rocks and soils etc. Considerina the importance of correct and preciss measurement of temperature for thermophyslcal propertles research, one session of the Conference is devoted to the review of the state of art in the temperature measurement. The session is composed of seven invited review lectures by leading experts from national metrological institutions of Canada, FR Germany, Great Britain, Italy, USA and USSR, which will cover the topics of IPTS, thermodynamic temperature measurement, resistance thermometry, thermocouple thermometry, radiation pyrometry, modern (fast) methods of temperature measurement, and the relation with thermophysical properties measurements.
