Audouin Dollfus Observatoire de Paris, Section de Meudon, 92195
Meudon, FRfu CE The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and,
in particular, its Department of Scientific Affairs headed by Dr.
C. Sinclair, actively supports new fields of science. The recent
exploration of the outer parts of the Solar System by spacecraft
focused the attention of a large community of scientists on the
problem of ices, which playa major role in the accretionary
processes in space except for the close neighborhood of the Sun and
of other stars. NATO responded to this new interest by agreeing to
sponsor an Advanced Research Workshop "Ices in the Solar System,"
provided a proper organizing body could be set up. It was a
pleasure to organize such a workshop jointly with Profes sor Roman
Smoluchowski who had earlier organized similar conferences. I knew
from the experience of others who managed such meetings in the past
that there would be much work, but the opportunity of cooperating
with Smoluchowski was very attractive and convinced me to agree. If
well organized, the whole project promised to be more than
rewarding for a large community of scientists, both in the short
run and in the long run, by clarifying certain outstanding
questions in astrophysics. It became clear that a well-organized
international conference would attract top scientists and help
unravel many fundamental problems."
