The Intermag 2003 Conference is now closed. Please visit our registration section if you would like to attend the Conference.

Intermag 2003 will only accept digests electronically. The digests must be submitted using the conference digest submission web site. All information regarding the format of the digests and submission categories can be found at this web site. The deadline for submission is October 9, 2002 {NOTE: NEW DEADLINE}. This deadline will be strictly observed and the web site will not accept digests after this deadline. DO NOT submit digests to Courtesy Associates. Digests that are not submitted to the conference web site will not be considered. Receipt of digest submissions will be acknowledged by return E-Mail. Please note that multiple digest submissions must be done one at a time, providing all requested information, even if this has been done for the same authors in a previous submission.
