Science is not a mere collection of facts. It is the correlation of
facts, the interpretative synthesis of the available knowledge and
its application that excite the imagination of a scientist. Even in
these days of modern technology, the need for quick and accurate
dissemination of new information and current concepts still exists.
Conferences and Symposia offer one direct method of communication.
The Summer Schools are another approach. The success of a Summer
School is mainly due to that human factor and under standing that
goes with it and allows for extensive and often time-unrestricted
discussions. During the course of the past 20 years, one of the
most in tensively studied groups of elements in the Periodic Table
is the Lanthanides. In this period, we have increased our knowledge
on these once exotic elements, which were once considered to be a
part of a lean and hungry industry, many-fold due to the involve
ment of scientists from various disciplines. The purpose of our
Summer School was to bring a group of ex perts and participants
together for the exchange of ideas and in formation in an informal
setting and to promote interdisciplinary interactions. Out of many
conceivable topics, we selected the following five as the main
basis to broaden our knowledge and understanding I) Systematics 2)
Structure 3) Electronic and Magnetic Proper ties 4) Spectroscopic
Properties and 5) Lanthanide Geochemistry."
