The purpose of the meeting will be, in line with tradition, to bring together 'producers' and 'users' of atomic data so as to ensure optimal coordination. Atomic physicists who study the structure of atoms and their radiative and collisional properties will be invited to describe the latest progress of their discipline while astrophysicists and laboratory plasma physicists will be invited to review their present research interests and the context in which atomic data are needed. Topics The scientific program will cover the following areas : - Atomic lifetime and oscillator strength determination - Hyperfine structure and isotope shifts - Theoretical modeling and computational approaches - Laboratory techniques - High resolution spectroscopy - Trapped ions - Tests of fundamental constants - Highly charged ions - Collisional processes - Atomic databases and related topics - Astrophysical and laboratory plasmas : atomic data needs - Spectroscopic diagnostics of fusion plasmas - Topics in astrophysics including elemental abundance determination - Atomic spectra from HED plasmas and polarization - .... The meeting will be organized by the Astrophysics and Spectroscopy ( ASPECT) group on the campus of University of Mons ( UMONS) and will include invited and contributed talks along with poster presentations. The conference will begin with a welcome reception on the evening of Monday August 5, followed by four days for the scientific program. An afternoon outing and a conference dinner are also planned. It will be the eleventh meeting in a series started in 1983 and taking place every three years.
