GENERAL INFORMATION The discovery of muon-neutrino oscillations in atmospheric neutrinos by the Super-Kamiokande (SK) experiment has triggered many proposals for neutrino oscillation experiments using conventional low-energy neutrino beams for precise determination of the oscillation parameters. The long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, the K2K, uses a neutrino beam with <E_nu> = 1.3 GeV interacting with nuclei in the SK detector. Several neutrino experiments, K2K now running, or under construction like MiniBOONE, MINOS, ICARUS, and OPERA are designed to confirm and to elucidate the neutrino oscillations phenomenon and to provide more precise measurement of the oscillations parameters. As the experiments collect more data, the contribution of systematic errors may become more significant in the oscillation analysis. Important sources of the systematic errors are the uncertainty in the neutrino-nucleus cross sections and subsequent nuclear effects in the few GeV energy region such as Pauli blocking, nucleon binding, pion absorption, nuclear correlations, and final-state interactions. Since more precise knowledge of neutrino-nucleus interactions in the few GeV region will also be of vital importance in the future neutrino oscillation experiments at JHF-SK, Fermilab/MINOS and CERN/Gran Sasso, as well as in future atmospheric neutrino experiments and in next generation proton-decay experiments, now is a reasonable time to organize an international workshop on this subject. The purpose of this workshop is to form and develop a strong community of nuclear and high-energy physicists in order to meet the many challenges in current neutrino physics. By examining our knowledge of this subject and noting where theoretical and experimental expertise is needed, international effort can be more efficiently applied to the problem. Note that an additional benefit of this effort may be the establishment of a new field of nuclear physics using neutrino beams as well as electron beams for precise measurements of lepton-nucleus interactions. 2. SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM All the talks are plenary and are given by invited speakers. The topics will include the following subjects: 1. Neutrino-nucleus interactions, and their relation to neutrino oscillations and proton decay studies 2. Review of electron-nucleus interactions and neutrino- nucleus interactions 3. Theoretical review of nuclear effects and calculations 4. Comparison of neutrino event generators 5. Future experiments for precise neutrino-nucleus interactions The detailed program will appear on the web page when it is fixed. 3. WORKSHOP SITE The workshop site is High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). You can get information of access from web page: http://ccwww.kek.jp/info/userguide/reachkek.html If you are from Narita international airport, airport bus directly connecting to "Tsukuba-center" bus station (~50km from the airport and ~10km south of KEK) is the most convenient. Those participants from countries requiring a visa should apply to the Japanese consulate in advance of your departure. If you need any official letters or other help to obtain a visa, please let us know as soon as possible. 4. REGISTRATION The registration can be made by web page: http://neutrino.kek.jp/nuint01 If you answer that you want to give a talk in the workshop, You'll be asked to send title and abstract to the program committee by e-mail ( opc.nuint01@neutrino.kek.jp ). The deadline for abstracts of the contributed talks is the end of September. The participants will be requested to pay 10,000 yen as the registration fee at the conference, which includes the reception, refreshments during the workshop and a copy of the Proceedings. 5.
