11^th Conference on Electromagnetic and Light Scattering.  The 11th Conference on Electromagnetic and Light Scattering falls in the year of the centenary celebration of the publication of an epoch-making paper in scattering theory by Gustav Mie. It will bring together scientists and engineers from around the world who are actively involved in research into light scattering and will address theoretical developments and simulations, laboratory and field experiments, measurements and applications. The conference will be held on September 7-12, 2008 at the University de Havilland Campus in Hatfield, just 20 miles north of London, set in the lovely Hertfordshire countryside. The conference dinner, an Elizabethan banquet, will be held at Hatfield House which was previously home to Elizabeth I of England
