This is the announcement for the 21. Symposium on Surface Science (3S*08), which will take place at the Bundes Ski Akademie St. Christoph in St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria from Sunday March 2nd to Saturday March 8th, 2008

I. SCOPE AND GENERAL INFORMATION
The topics of 3S*08 will include all aspects of surface science as, e.g.

• Surface structure
• Surface reactions
• Particle-surface interactions
• Epitaxial growth
• Adsorption and desorption
• Applications of surface science

These fields will be covered by about 30 - 40 oral presentations (20 minutes talks including discussion), to be selected from the submitted contributions. All other contributions will be presented as posters. Poster boards are 180 cm high and 90 cm wide. Poster sessions will be preceded by poster introductions, where the authors will have the opportunity to orally present highlights of their work as a "2 minute commercial" (2 transparencies max.).

II. ACCOMMODATION AND TIME SCHEDULE
All participants will be accommodated in the newly renovated Bundes Ski Academy St. Christoph am Arlberg

If possible please indicate a room-mate, with whom you would like to share your room. The number of single rooms is rather small. All registration will be done strictly on a first come - first serve basis.

Full board starts on Sunday evening with dinner. The scientific program runs from Sunday evening to Friday in the evening. Departure is on Saturday, March 8, 2008 after breakfast.
In addition to the scientific program, an important purpose of this symposium is to enable informal contacts during daily skiing activities. Therefore, lectures, poster introductions and poster presentations will take place in the morning and evening hours. A typical day schedule of this symposium will be as follows:
