60th Anniversary Ceremony of IUCr will be held just before the Opening Ceremony. The past Presidents, Theo Hahn (1984-1987), André Authier (1990-1993), Philip Coppens (1993-1996), Edward N. Baker (1996-1999), Hendrik Schenk (1999-2002) and William L. Duax (2002-2005) will attend the Ceremony. Since the Ceremony will be opened to the Japanese public, the simultaneous interpretation will be made at the second floor of the Main Hall. André Authier, Theo Hahn, Hendrik Schenk and Philip Coppens will give lectures (Aug 24, 25, 26 and 27, respectively) in the serial evening lectures for Japanese young students and general public. The lectures are aimed to introduce the history and scientific contribution of crystallography and furthermore to explain a close relation of crystallography with art and music. William L. Duax will give an explanatory talk on the Photo Exhibition at the luncheon seminar (Aug 30).
