Kraków, Poland 13 –17 August 2012
We are pleased to announce the 18th European Workshop on White Dwarfs, to be held in the historical city of Kraków, Poland.
This meeting will continue the series of workshops started in 1974, of which the last was in Tübingen, Germany in August 2010.
The topics to be covered at the conference will be similar to those of the previous meetings. Contributions in all areas of white
dwarf (WD) research are welcome, including the properties of WDs in binaries, but excluding the general fields of CVs, sdB
stars and planetary nebulae. We would like to maintain the spirit of previous conferences, thus allowing for oral contributions of
around 20 minutes. Poster contributions are also welcome.
The workshop will also include a number of social events for the participants.
