Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the first international meeting organized
at the University of Tokyo with focus of on the rapidly evolving field
of the graphene science: Graphene Tokyo 2009. The meeting will be held
on the 25th -26th of June at The University of Tokyo.

Graphene Tokyo 2009 aims at gathers leading scientists in the field
reporting on the latest advances in the understanding of physical
properties and emerging applications of graphene. Invited reviews will
cover a broad range of theoretical and experimental characterization
methods contributing to define the portfolio of research topics that
urgently require to be investigated.

We certainly expect that the series of exciting talks delivered by
these top experts will provide an ideal forum to create excitement in
the students and junior scientists that will participate. To this end,
we will maintain as much as possible an informal atmosphere during the
conference, which will stimulate scientific discussions between all
participants. The conference program incorporates invited reviews, a
poster session and time reserved for informal discussions. The
deadline for poster abstract submission is 22nd June 2009.
