CONCLUDING REMARKS

Abstract
When in 1962 Pr. Weissler organized the first meeting of this series in Los Angeles, it was certainly not intended as a permanent institution. It was just the desire, to bring together the quite limited number of people, who worked on Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation Physics problems in a number of fields, e.g. atomic, molecular and solid state physics, astrophysics etc. Very little theory was done at that time ; it was more a general technical interest, which brought the different people together and certainly also the desire to exchange their results.
