Dear Colleague, The 3rd RD51 Collaboration meeting will take place in Kolympari, Crete, Greece on 16th and 17th of June 2009 just after MPG2009 Conference. During the first day we will have parallel session presentations and discussions organized by Working Group Conveners, followed by Collaboration Board meeting. The second day will be devoted to the RD51 news, Collaboration organization issues and Working Group sessions summaries. You can find registration details and all practical information concerning the venue and hotels in the MPGD2009 Conference site. Best regards, Leszek & Maxim
