The Sixth CFHT User's Meeting will be held in Lyon, at
the Ecole Normale
Supérieure on Thursday, May 31st and Friday, June
1st. It will be held jointly with the meeting of the Société Francaise d'Astronomie et
d'Astrophysique (SF2A), during what has been called "la semaine de l'Astrophysique
Francaise".
Since the last CFHT User's Meeting in Quebec in 1998, several spectacular
scientific results were obtained, thanks to the rich and modern instrumentation
now available at CFHT. Some highlights will be presented at the meeting,
as well as some of the forthcoming instruments already in development.
More prospective will be the presentation of the projects for a Next Generation
CFHT. We then expect a lively and open discussion from the 3 communities.
Last, the design of a CFH Legacy Survey to be performed with Megacam will be
presented. Again it can be discussed within the participants of the meeting,
before it is finally reported to the SAC and the Executive of CFHT.
The program of this meeting is prepared by a
Scientific Organizing Committee, whose members are members of SAC and CFHT
resident astronomers. It is still preliminary. Please check back from time to
time...
Participants are welcome to register as soon as possible, and before 30
April 2001. To register for the User's Meeting, please use the on-line

A call for contributions (oral or poster) is also open, with a deadline by

The proceedings of the User's Meeting will be published by CFHT.
