MEETING LOCATION AND DATE
------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are cordially invited to attend the 72nd Annual Meeting of the
Meteoritical Society, to be held July 13-18, 2009, in Nancy, France.
Located in Lorraine in northeast France, the city of Nancy is known all
over the world thanks to Place Stanislas, a magnificent example of
classical French architecture. It is considered the most beautiful royal
square in Europe and the high point of Nancy's outstanding collection of
18th century monuments and is listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Nancy is also a prestigious center of art and architecture, mainly in
response to the work of the "Ecole de Nancy", a group of artists and
architects that worked in the Art Nouveau style at the end of the 19th
century and the early 20th century. To be immersed in this historical
atmosphere, the meeting will be held in the city center, within walking
distance of hotels and the railway station. Visit the Nancy tourist
office <http://www.ot-nancy.fr/> for more information.

Plenary, oral, and poster sessions will be held in two amphitheaters of
the Faculty of Law on the Place Carnot near (~300 m) Place Stanislas in
the center of the city, which will also provide the primary
accommodations for meeting attendees. Scheduled events include a
reception during the registration, a banquet, an award ceremony, and
several excursions. A pre-conference workshop will be held in Nancy the
weekend before the meeting.
