Please mark your calendar. The conference will address unsolved problems and challenges in three topical areas.

In the past, more that 70% of the participants have been accompanied by their spouses. I hope you and your spouse will plan to join at FIPSE 4.

A general topic and an organizer for each of the three days is selected by the FIPSE trustees. These day organizers further define the topic and propose the invited speakers. The selected two speakers for each day make a 45-minute morning presentation. These presentations focus 65% of their time defining 1-3 important open research problems that should be addressed by the community in the next 5 to 10 years. In the second half of the morning session, the day organizer invites 5-6 of the conference participants to make a five-minute presentation on their definition of an open research problem which they input during the online conference registration. The morning session ends with considerable discussion among the participants and the presenters. In the afternoon session, the participants break into groups of 6-8 members where they discuss further and define in greater detail the open problems in the area. Each of the groups report back to all participants followed by another round of discussions. The day organizer and the two invited speakers collect a record of all the ideas proposed. Six to twelve months after the conference, they are expected to draft a manuscript to be published in a respected journal as a record on what was concluded at the FIPSE conference. A draft of this paper is circulated among all FIPSE participants for comments and suggestions for improvement. All participants who contribute substantially become co-authors. This publication aims to inform non-participants and motivate all researchers to help solve the defined challenges or to pursue alternative ones. Optional Pre-Conference Cultural Trip On Sunday June 24, an optional day-long cultural trip is planned to visit the Vergina site. This is where the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, was discovered and excavated in 1977. [http://files.constantcontact.com/e86c2683201/cb577a7e-fac6-4093-879b-8a68b5c812dd.jpg] This morning trip will be following by lunch and an afternoon visit, if time permits, to the Archeological Museum of Thessaloniki.
