The 20^th North American Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy will be held on the campus of Brown University, Providence, RI.   Atop College Hill on Providence’s historic East Side, the conference venue offers ready access to the city’s renowned and renovated downtown with its celebrated Waterplace Park, Riverwalk, and diverse collection of outstanding restaurants.  From Providence a short drive to the south reaches the maritime and cultural attractions of Newport; to the north one will find the natural beauty and charm of New England in peak autumn foliage.

We warmly welcome and encourage the participation of colleagues from all continents, all types of organizations, and all levels of experience.  NA-MBE 2001 will continue a tradition of offering opportunities to share research discoveries, development milestones, and technical goals in an informal setting.  The meeting has a long-standing reputation for nucleating lasting friendships and productive collaborations.  We hope to see you in Providence.
