Words From The Editor
Dear Colleague,
A new year is now definitely started, and events that were only looming in the distance, are now fast approaching.
The ATW2015 and Eucass 2015 events directly organized by Eucass are getting closer with some good news (see below).
Other events of interest for you are recalled here, and some useful info provided by our readers as well.
The complete list of past newsletters is available at the EUCASS website here.

IAC 2015
As already mentioned in a special issue of our newsletter, the International Astronautical Congress - IAC - is organizing its 66th congress the 12-16 October 2015 in Jerusalem, Israel. The congress web site is available at the following address: www.iac2015.org ,
Workshop on Non-equilibrium Flow Phenomena
In Honor of Mikhail Ivanov's 70th Birthday, in Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia, June 15-18, 2015
Mikhail Ivanov, an eminent scientist in the field of rarefied gas dynamics and shock wave physics and a prominent Eucass technical Committee chairman, would have turned seventy in 2015.
To honor his memory, the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and Novosibirsk State University are organizing a Workshop on Non-equilibrium Flow Phenomena on June 15-18 2015.
The workshop will be held in Akademgorodok near Novosibirsk. The scope of the workshop will cover all topics related to rarefied and non-equilibrium flow phenomena, gas kinetic theory, physics of shock waves, spacecraft aerothermodynamics, and applications of particle methods to non-equilibrium flows.
You are kindly invited to contribute to the workshop submitting a one-page abstract written in English to
The workshop website is available here hosted by the Laboratory of Nonequilibrium Flows. The workshop webpage is available here.
