The schools are funded by the European Commission, as part of its Training and Mobility Programme, in a grant coordinated by Eric Priest. The first school was held in St Andrews, and devoted to MHD Reconnection while the second in Berlin and devoted to MHD Waves and Turbulence. This School is concerned mainly with Dynamical MHD Phenomena, and through the organized lectures and contributions from the participants aims to introducing a wide area of current theoretical research activity in Dynamical Plasma Astrophysics and point out areas of cross-fertilisation between laboratory, magnetospheric, solar and astrophysical MHD. The Course will take place at the Fodele Beach Hotel and Conference Center (near Heraklion, Crete, Greece). This School should prove particularly appropriate for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. {\bf Travel and subsistence funding will be provided for 40 EU students}. Participants from non-EU countries paying their full costs will also be welcome. Students are required to attend the whole of the School. There will be a Registration fee, details of which will be given in the Second Announcement. The Second Announcement will be issued by the end of January and will give further details of the programme, travel aspects, a Final Registration form, and details of payment of the registration fee. Announcements will also be available soon on the www: http://www.physics.uch.gr/$\sim$tsingan/mhd98/Announcement1.html If you are interested in attending the School, please return the registration of interest form (see below) {\bf as soon as possible} either by e-mail to mhd@physics.uch.gr, or by post to:\\ K.
