As it has been the tradition for many years, the Gordon Research Conference on Nuclear Chemistry will focus this year on new and exciting results on nuclear structure. The site location at Colby-Sawyer College and the format of the program will provide the community of nuclear scientists with a unique forum in which the most recent developments and results in this field can be presented, extensively discussed and criticized. Our goal is to ensure that discussions be conducted in a manner which will invite vigorous and open interactions between scientists and to provoke new, and sometimes speculative, ideas for future research. Generous time will be allocated for such discussions and the "extra-curricular" conference activities will certainly promote their occurrence.
