Rio de Janeiro will host a Satellite Conference to ICM 2000 on "Nuclear Methods in
Magnetism" in the week preceding ICM
in Recife. This meeting will continue the tradition of the previous conferences in Munich (1988) and Canberra (1997).
The purpose of the Satellite Conference is to stimulate the exchanges between specialists from different parts of the
world, in
the context of a smaller meeting. The contributions to the conference will include studies of Magnetism using
NMR, muSR,
Nuclear Orientation, Angular Correlations, Mössbauer Spectroscopy, ENDOR, Neutron
Studies, and related techniques.
Theoretical results related to hyperfine interactions will also be welcome.
The social program will allow the participants to get acquainted with the wonders of Rio de Janeiro.

RIO DE JANEIRO
Rio de Janeiro - the name of the state, the name of its capital, world-famous, and main point of entry into
Brazil.
The city lies nestled between the sea and the mountains. And what a sea! What
mountains! One of nature's masterpieces.
There are some thirty miles between downtown Flamengo and far-flung Recreio, fringed on one side with blue
sea, bordered
on the other by green hills.
Between them lies a colorful state of mind called 'carioca', with 8 million locals who samba their way through
life, relaxed and high-spirited.
That's just the way it should be in Rio, surrounded by natural beauty on all
sides, with Christ the Redeemer perched on top of
the Corcovado blessing the city, and the Sugar Loaf, one of the most famous postcards of the
country.
This natural beauty spreads throughout the State of Rio de Janeiro. To the south lies the Green
Coast, with innumerable
beaches that shouldn't be missed such as the Island of Jaguanum, Angra dos Reis, and
Paraty. Moving north from Rio is the
Sun Coast. Here we find the beautiful beaches of Itaipu, Maricá, Saquarema,
Araruama, Cabo Frio, Búzios, Arraial do Cabo
and a host of others.
The state of Rio also offers delightful mountain resorts like Petrópolis, Teresópolis and
Friburgo.

WELCOME TO NMM2000
We look forward to your active participation in the Nuclear Methods in Magnetism Conference. We are working to provide the participants with a Conference that will be both scientifically stimulating and personally pleasing. NMM2000 will be a unique opportunity to meet and discuss with workers from all over the world engaged on the study, with nuclear techniques, of a wide range of problems in magnetism. This meeting will continue the tradition of the previous conferences in Munich (1988) and Canberra (1997).
* Conference Venue
The NMM2000 Conference will be held at the Rio Othon Palace Hotel in the
district of Copacabana, at the famous beach, in the southern part of Rio de

Transportation from the airport to the Conference hotel can be made either by
bus or by taxi. If a taxi is preferred, we recommend the radio-taxi service that
charges about US$ 20; the fare should be paid in advance at the counter of one
of the companies: TRANSCOOPASS or COOPERTRAMO. The taxi ride takes about
half-an-hour from the airport to the hotel. The bus fare is approximately US$ 2.
This is a special air-conditioned bus (Real Company), and it takes about one
hour from the airport to the hotel. Language Electricity Currency Business Hours Insurance Liability

Passport and visa requirements
Most participants will need only a valid passport. However, a tourist visa
may be required from citizens of some countries. In this case, visas can be
obtained from the Brazilian Consulate or Embassy in your country within a few
days.
The official language of Brazil is Portuguese. Most people connected with
tourism, hotels, clubs, shops and ground handling services speak at least
another language. English and Spanish are the most common second languages. At
the Conference, the official language will be English.
Climate
Seasons in Brazil are the opposite of those in the Northern Hemisphere:
winter is from June through September and summer November through March. Warm
tropical weather extends north from Rio throughout most of the year. South of
São Paulo and other cities of the South, the climate is temperate with warm
summers and cold winters.
The electricity supply is 110 V and uses a standard U.S. 2 flat-pin plug.
220 V adapters can be obtained at the hotel.
The Brazilian monetary unit is the "Real" (R$). The exchanges
rates are published daily in the newspapers, and the equivalence in US dollars
is around 1.9 R$ = 1 US$. Cash and travelers checks are easily exchanged with
hotel cashiers, banks and travel agencies. Most hotels, restaurants and shops
accept international credit cards; foreign currency may also be accepted.
Shops and most offices are open 9:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, and
from 9:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday. Banks are open Monday through Friday from
10:00am to 4:00pm. Most shopping centers and malls remain open from 10:00am to
10:00pm, Monday to Saturday. Many pharmacies and small grocery stores are open
on Sunday.
Participants are advised to have their own comprehensive travel insurance
coverage and to extend it to their personal belongings.
The organizers cannot be held responsible for any changes in the program due
to circumstances beyond their control.
