On March 23-24, 2003, the second in a series of international workshops on interstellar message design will be held in Paris.
The workshop will focus on two broad themes: first, the interface of art, science, and technology in interstellar message design; and second, how to communicate concepts of altruism in interstellar messages.
Papers addressing other topics related to interstellar message construction will be considered on a space available basis.

Participation is by invitation only. Each potential participant should send a 200-word abstract of his/her proposed paper and either a c.v./resume or a URL describing professional background to altruism @ seti.org no later than December 1, 2002.
