On behalf of the organizing committee, we cordially invite you to attend the 18th International Conference on Dynamical Processes in Excited States of Solids (DPC’13). DPC’13 will be organized by Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on August 4 through 9, 2013, at Fuzhou city located in the east of Fujian province and west of Taiwan Strait. DPC is an international conference series held every three years alternately in North America, Europe and Asia with a program focused on theoretical and experimental aspects of excited states dynamics in condensed matter in physics, chemistry and material sciences. The previous two conferences were held in Segovia (Spain) and Argonne (USA), respectively, in 2007 and 2010. The Fuzhou conference will follow the DPC tradition to promote academic interactions, while the participants will have an opportunity to enjoy also the rich and elegant local culture in foods and arts. We are looking forward to your participation and contribution.
