During the past two decades there has been a phenomenal growth of instrumented indentation techniques (also known as nanoindentation) for scientific research and for industrial applications. In several situations, nanoindentation techniques are the only viable ones with which to explore the behaviour of the test samples. In addition, these techniques are of an interdisciplinary nature and cover several scientific subjects, such as physics, chemistry, materials science and metallurgy, biological sciences and biomaterials, geophysics and geology. It is, therefore, particularly beneficial to organise a workshop in which scientists from different subjects can fully participate.With the above view in mind, we plan to organise the Third International Indentation Workshop at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, from 15 - 20 July 2007.We have already extended invitation to fifteen leading experts in their fields of research to give invited talks (see Case for Support for titles).The technical sessions of the Workshop are going to be spread over four and a half days. On each of the first four days there will be four invited talks and about 10 contributed oral presentations. Moreover, there will be about twenty Poster Presentations, which will be on display throughout the Workshop duration.On the final day of the Workshop there will be an Open Discussion Session at which participants will be invited to express their views freely. It is our experience that such discussions are extremely useful for the development of new ideas.It is the intention of the organisers to encourage young scientists to participate in the Workshop. We have, therefore, kept their registration fee at a very low level of just 125- per person. In fact, even for the regular participants the registration fee is relatively small.In order to encourage free andfruitful discussion amongst the participants, tea/coffee breaks have been organised in the same room of the Cavendish in which Posters and exhibition instruments will be displayed. Moreover, we have also organised a few social functions, such as welcoming parties and the Workshop Dinner, for enhancing scientific and collaborative interations amongst the participants.Wider dissemination of the knowledge generated at the Workshop will be through the publication of high quality manuscript in a leading UK scientific journal, namely Journal of Applied Physics D.It is very much hoped that the meeting will be very successful in enhancing scientific understanding and in developing international collaboration.

在过去的二十年里，用于科学研究和工业应用的仪器化压痕技术（也称为纳米压痕）有了惊人的增长。在一些情况下，纳米压痕技术是唯一可行的探索测试样品的行为。此外，这些技术具有跨学科性质，涵盖若干科学学科，如物理学、化学、材料科学和冶金学、生物科学和生物材料、生物物理学和地质学。因此，组织一个不同学科的科学家都能充分参与的研讨会是特别有益的。考虑到上述观点，我们计划在剑桥的剑桥大学卡文迪什实验室组织第三届国际压痕研讨会，2007年7月15日至20日，我们已经邀请了十五位在各自研究领域的顶尖专家来做特邀演讲讲习班的技术会议将分四天半举行。在前四天的每一天，将有四个邀请演讲和大约10个贡献的口头报告。此外，工作坊亦会展出约二十幅海报，并于最后一天举行公开讨论会，邀请参加者自由发表意见。根据我们的经验，这种讨论对发展新的想法极为有用。组织者的意图是鼓励年轻科学家参加讲习班。因此，我们将他们的注册费维持在每人125英镑的极低水平。事实上，即使是经常参加的人，注册费也相对较低。为了鼓励参与者之间进行自由和富有成果的讨论，卡文迪什的同一个房间里安排了茶/咖啡休息时间，在那里将展示海报和展览仪器。此外，我们亦举办了多项社交活动，例如欢迎会及工作坊晚宴，以加强参加者之间的科学交流及合作。工作坊所产生的知识，会透过在英国一份主要的科学期刊发表高质素的稿件，我们非常希望这次会议在增进科学理解和发展国际合作方面取得成功。
