\bigskip\noindent
\TeX88, the Third European \TeX\ Conference
will take place at Exeter University, UK, from Monday, July 18th to
Wednesday, July 20th,
1988. This conference seeks to maintain the high standard
set by the previous European \TeX\ conferences.
In view of the rate at which \TeX\ is expanding its areas
of application, and the developments which will
have taken place by next summer, 
papers are welcome from all areas of \TeX, \MF\
and related subjects. 
Likely themes might include: 
\medskip
\istar desktop and traditional publishing with \TeX
\istar document structure --- \LaTeX, SGML, ODA, etc.
\istar non-technical \TeX\ and \MF\ applications
   \hfill\break\indent (humanities, music, exotic languages)
\istar other technical areas (chemistry, physics,
    biology)
\istar parochial peculiarities (European considerations!)
\istar ai and expert system approaches
\istar \TeX\ and {\it wysiwyg}
\istar \MF\ and fonts
\istar page description languages and \dvi
\istar micro inputs
\istar macro inputs
\istar standards:
\iistar for |\special|
\iistar for printer drivers
\iistar for \TeX\ macros
\istar \TeX\ environments
\bigskip\noindent
\medskip
\noindent
The programme will be structured to include both long and short
contributions. The  proceedings will be published after
the conference.
\bigskip
\centerline{\bf Added Value}\smallskip\noindent
We hope to run various workshops and
participatory seminars before, during and after the conference.
Specifically, we plan to organise 
workshops on `the design of documents', \LaTeX\
style files (and how to modify them), and on
the use of \MF.
Seminar rooms will be available during the conference for
`birds of a feather' and other {\it ad hoc} group meetings.
 There will be facilities for exhibitions by
the vendors of \TeX-related software, hardware and paperware.
A number of micros will be available to allow the interchange
of micro software, as well as demonstrations of particular
packages etc. 
\bigskip
\centerline{\bf What does it cost?}
\smallskip
\noindent
The total cost of the conference, including  accommodation (from
the evening of Sunday 17th July, through to Wednesday 20th) at
Lopes Hall of Residence, meals, social activities,
and the conference proceedings will be around \quid150. 
For non-residents, the charge will be about \quid100. The
workshops and seminars before or after the conference
will cost about \quid50 per day,
which also includes accommodation and meals. Cheap rail fares
within the UK are being arranged.

\centerline{\bf Where is Exeter University?}
\smallskip
\noindent
Exeter is located in the sunny south west of England, close
to Dartmoor, and only 10 miles from the sea. 
The University is  approximately one mile north of Exeter
city centre. There is an excellent train service to London
and the North from St Davids Station. The M5 and M4 motorways
provide quick and relatively painless access to London, the Midlands
and the North. There is ample car parking space on campus.
The local airport has daily connections to the continent, as well
as UK internal destinations.
