Young Researchers Workshop will be held as a part of the Eighth International Conference “Correlation Optics” (CO’07), which will take place in Chernivtsi, Ukraine on September 11-14, 2007. The purpose of this Workshop is both academic and social: it will not only help the students from Ukraine and other countries to get to know each other, but also will provide them with a useful baggage of knowledge and skills necessary to make a successful career in science. Being run directly before the CO'07, our Workshop will help young conference participants to fully integrate themselves into the main event.
