We are pleased to announce the Second "Women in Physics Canada"
Conference will be held at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver,
BC, August 1-4 2012.

The conference is aimed at young women in all  areas of  physics (
including Engineering Physics and Astronomy)  primarily  undergraduate and
graduate students, as well as early career physicists  and postdocs.

The conference features  invited plenary speakers and   panelists,
contributed talks and posters, a visit and tour of  the TRIUMF laboratory,
and opening BBQ reception, and a banquet  at  the scenic Sage Bistro. We
have secured a group of truly amazing  women as    invited panelists and
speakers -  bios will be online asap.

Thanks to our generous sponsors: registration is only $30 for  students,
and a limited number of Student Travel Awards are  available.

The goals of the conference include building a strong  community of
Canadian women physicists, sharing research results and  ideas, raising
awareness of careers in science and technology, and working  towards
increasing the participation of women in physics in  Canada.

Deadline for abstract submission is Jun 15th 2012.      Abstracts for
posters may be accepted after this  deadline.

Travel grants will be allocated staring on June 20th, until travel  award
funds are depleted. (Awards are $100-$250)

The early (reduced) registration deadline is June 29th 2012;   increased
registration fees will be in effect afterwards.
