The program of the workshop is given below and more information about it can be obtained from the workshop web site at On behalf of the organizers I would like to invite you to participate in this workshop. We are developing a rich program that will cover all aspects of the Earth´s rotation including theory, measurement, analysis, excitation, and integration with other geodetic measurements into a global geodetic observing system. I hope that you will be able to join us in Shanghai for this exciting workshop. Please note that the deadline for both registering and submitting abstracts is August 15, 2010. Best regards, Richard ..........................................................
