Working languages of the Symposium are English and Russian.

Invited lectures and oral and poster presentations are scheduled during the Symposium.

Sessions will be held at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics SB RAS and Limnological Institute SB RAS.

Travel to the Lake Baikal for 1-2 days including a visit to Baikal Astrophysics Observatory, Baikal Museum, and Deep-water Neutrino Telescope is planned.

The abstracts will be published before the Symposium. Post-Symposium proceedings will be published by SPIE (The International Society for Optical Engineering).

Call for papers, information on the Symposium sessions, registration and accommodation of participants, additional excursions, social program, and preliminary topics of invited lectures will be presented in the Second Announcement in September, 2000. The Organizing Committee invites you and colleagues from your Institute to take part in the Symposium.
