The Seminar will begin on Friday, May 21 at 9:00 a.m. and end on Tuesday, May 25 at 6:30 p.m. An attendance of about 80 is expected on the basis of the replies to the first circular.
This Seminar is devoted to recent achievements and new challenges in nuclear structure experiment and theory. The main topics to be covered are:

• Nuclear structure far from stability: new advances and perspectives
• From nuclear forces to nuclear structure
• Exploring nuclear shell structure: experiment and theory
• New aspects of collective nuclear motion
• Special topics

Each of these topics will be covered by general talks and more specialized seminars. A poster session may also be organized. A third and final circular providing information on transportation from Naples to Vietri and social events, as well as a detailed program, will be posted on our Web site at the end of April.
This second circular provides information on contributions, registration and accommodation.

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

Invited speakers as well as participants wishing to contribute to the Seminar are requested to electronically submit a one-page abstract no later than April 15, 2010. All abstracts will be reproduced and collected in a volume to be issued to each participant at the time of registration. A limited number of oral presentations for seminars (lasting about 15 minutes) will be selected from contributions for which we have received abstracts prior to April 15. The relevance to the theme of the Seminar will be a prerequisite for this selection. Depending on the number of submitted abstracts, a poster session may also be organized. Notification of selected oral or poster presentation will be given to the authors by the end of April.
Abstracts should be written in LaTeX format, using the conference abstract template. Please send the LaTeX files by E-mail to VIETRI2010@NA.INFN.IT. Should you have further questions, please contact the Scientific Secretary of the Seminar Luigi Coraggio. The Seminar proceedings will be published. The text of oral presentations (general talks and seminars) and of all contributions (as distinct from abstracts) relevant to the Seminar will be published in the proceedings. The decision about which contributions are to be published will be taken by the Advisory Committee. Contributions will not be included in the proceedings if you do not attend the Seminar.
The publication of the proceedings will utilize author-prepared copies. Instructions concerning the format and the length of the manuscript will be given in the third circular. The deadline for receipt of manuscripts is June 30, 2010. To publish the proceedings in a timely manner, this deadline must be strictly observed. No paper arriving later than this date will be accepted.
