Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that Astrophysics Summer Institute 2002 (ASI2002) will be held during July 15-19, 2002 at Sophia University and National Astronomical Observatory, as a satellite symposium of "Nuclei in the Cosmos VII" (http://www.cns.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/nic7/). On the first day, July 15, we organize a workshop on "THE r-PROCESS". The purpose of this institute is to discuss informally (but deeply) the current status of the study on the origin of the elements and, especially, on the r-process from both theoretical and observational (experimental) views. While the origin of the r-process elements is a long-standing mystery, a great progress has been made in recent years in modelings of the astrophysical r-process sites as well as of nuclear physics far from stability. In addition, there are increasing evidences of the r-process in the early Galaxy in observation of extremely metal-poor halo stars. It would be, therefore, a good opportunity to organize an institute on this subject. On the second day, July 16, a workshop on "Light-to-heavy elements in cosmology and Galactic evolution" is expected to be held as well, at National Astronomical Observatory. Please contact us by email (S. Wanajo: wanajo@sophia.ac.jp and T. Kajino: kajino@nao.ac.jp) if you are interested in this institute.
