Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Italy
7 - 10 April 2008
FIRST BULLETIN
1. Place and Date.
The "International Workshop on e+e- collisions from phi to psi"
(PHIPSI08), will be held at Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Italy, from
Monday, April 7 to Thursday, April 10 2008. This is the fifth workshop in
a series, started in Novosibirsk in 1999 and continued at SLAC (2001),
Pisa (2003), and Novosibirsk(2006).
The goal of the Workshop is to discuss in detail the state of the art
of various problems in hadronic physics at low energy e+e- colliders
and the potential of existing and future facilities.

5. Workshop Site
The Workshop will be held in Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, the
birthplace of e+e- colliders. Frascati is located on a pleasant hill about
20 km from Rome. It is particularly renowned for its beautiful villas and
quality wines. All information can be accessed online through the web
page:
http://www.lnf.infn.it/conference/phipsi08/

for details.
6. Contributions and abstracts
Contributions to the workshop will be presemted as invited reviews and
talks on specific topics. Physicists interested in contributing to the
scientific program are requested to submit a brief abstract (via web
page), 120 words or 15 lines maximum, not later than February 1, 2008.
Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their contributions.
7. Proceedings
The Proceedings of the Workshop will be published by Elsevier, Nuclear
