The aim of this conference is to bring together internationally-renowned specialists and young researchers from both communities of Condensed-Matter physics and Ultracold Atoms, experimentalists and theoreticians. We expect emergence of new promising challenges, fruitful discussions, and cross fertilization of ideas, both on the experimental and on the theoretical sides.

The XXXI edition of the International Conference on Phenomena in Ionized Gases (ICPIG) is held in Spain for the first time after the first ICPIG that took place back in 1953 in Oxford (UK) 60 years ago. The ICPIG, a tradicional International conference with a remarkably long history, is held every two years and covers nearly all aspects of phenomena in ionizad gases from fundamentals to applications. The ICPIG topics are grouped into four major sections (A. Fundamentals; B. Modeling, Simulation and Diagnostics; C. Plasma Sources and Discharge Regimes; D. Applications) with each major section structured into several sub-topics.

On behalf of the International Plasma Chemistry Society (IPCS), we welcome everyone to the 21st International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry which will be held from the 4th to the 9th of August 2013 in Cairns, Australia.

The Australian Organising Committee is pleased to hold the symposium in one of the most interesting towns in Australia. ISPC 21 will be held at the excellent Cairns Convention Centre which is only a ten minute drive from the Cairns International Airport and is renowned for its unique environmental design. Cairns is situated in Tropical North Queensland and is the gateway to both the Great Barrier Reef and ancient tropical rainforests. It is a favourite holiday and conference destination for overseas visitors and Australians alike. We are holding the symposium in the Australian winter but have no fear! The average daytime air temperature is 24 degrees Celsius with low humidity and clear blue skies. Because the latitude is within the tropic of Capricorn, the water temperature is also a warm 24 degrees Celsius, perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

The ISPC has gained popularity over the past few years and now represents scientists from all the major continents of the world. Its breadth of subject matter has now expanded and we will be having a number of sessions on the medical uses of plasmas and the physics underlying the many different types of atmospheric plasmas that are used.

All of us look forward to welcoming you to ISPC 21 in Australia!

The 11th International Colloquium on Atomic Spectra and Oscillator Strengths (ASOS) for Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas will be held in Mons (Belgium) from Monday August 5 to Friday August 9, 2013. 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 explain the development of their work while astrophysicists and laboratory plasma physicists will be invited to review their present research interests and the context in which atomic data are needed.
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.
