Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
I am very pleased to announce you that the 11th International
Topical Meeting on Nuclear Applications of Accelerators
(AccApp) will take place from August 5 to 8, 2013 in the
beautiful and historical surroundings of Bruges (a Unesco
world heritage city) in Belgium and will be organized by
SCK•CEN in cooperation with the Accelerator Applications
Division of the American Nuclear Society (ANS). <br>
<br>
The Meeting will be organized at the historical site “Oud
Sint-Jan” which was a hospital in the Middle Ages, one of the
first in Europe in fact. The site affords a fine view of a
number of historical gems, such as the Bruges canals and the
Church of our Lady and the city of Bruges is called the Venice
of the North.<br>
<br>
We hope to meet you this August in the lovely city Bruges and
we would like to ask you to spread the news to your colleagues
and other interested parties. Please note that the deadline
for submitting papers is 7 April 2013.

<b>VENUE </b><br>
<hr>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <b>AccApp'13 </b>will be held at
the <b>Oud Sint-Jan Art and Conference Centre</b>. <br>
The Oud Sint-Jan Art and Conference Centre is housed in a
historic building: a 19th century hospital. One of the first
hospitals of Europe was already located on this site in the
Middle Ages. The centre is located in the very heart of
Bruges and bordered by the typical canals. The beautiful
inner courtyard looks onto the tower of the Church of Our
Lady.<br>
<br>
The Oud Sint-Jan Art and Conference Centre has its own pay
car park and is located within 7 minutes’ walking distance
from the train station.<br>
<br>
<br>
The <b>City of Bruges</b> is located in the northwest part
of Belgium, at a 1 hour drive from Brussels and 20 minutes
from the Belgian coast. The historic city center is a
prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. The city center
features a peculiar style with a medieval flavor. Along with
its large numbers of water channels, Bruges is sometimes
referred to as The Venice of the North. The town also houses
many museums and can be considered as a major cultural
crossroads in the heart of Europe.<br>
