XVII Congress update

2000 Abstracts

If you're a crystallographer and you can only afford to go to one scientific meeting a year, this is the meeting you must attend. If you're a structural chemist or biologist and you only plan to go to one crystallographic meeting in your entire life, this is the one.

Congress Registration

General registration will begin on Thursday, August 8, on the fourth floor of the Washington State Convention and Trade Center (not in the Sheraton Hotel) from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. It will continue daily in the convention center.

Travel Grants

Limited funds are available from the IUCr to help young scientists to attend the XVII Congress and General Assembly by contributing toward travel and related costs. Preference will be given to those presenting a paper. Limited funds are also available to help scientists in exceptionally difficult financial circumstances to attend the Congress. Preference will be given to invited speakers, chairs and co-chairs and to those presenting a paper. The closing date for applications was March 15. Awardees will be notified by April 20.

Nobel Laureates Program

The preliminary schedule for noontime lectures by Nobel Laureates is as follows:

Sunday, August 11, 1996 Herbert A. Hauptman
Robert Huber
Monday, August 12, 1996 Johann Deisenhofer
Jerome Karle
Wednesday, August 14, 1996 B. N. Brockhouse
Clifford G. Shull
Sir John C. Kendrew
Thursday, August 15, 1996 Roundtable Discussion
Friday, August 16, 1996 W. N. Lipscomb
Hartmut Michel

All laureates have been invited to participate in the Roundtable Discussion on Thursday, August 15 and will be honored guests at the Congress Banquet that evening.

At the Roundtable Discussion, chaired by R. Bryan, chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Congress, the laureates will respond to questions from young scientists. All young scientists (you are as young as you feel) are invited to submit questions for consideration to R. Bryan or W. Duax.

Ewald Prize

Michael Rossmann has been awarded the 1996 Ewald Prize of the IUCr for his outstanding contributions to the science of crystallography. The award is based on the importance of his work on molecular replacement and the use of non-crystallographic symmetry in the determination of macromolecular structure, as well as his research on the structure of viruses, which, the selection committee terms, "foremost among the triumphs of Crystallography". The Prize consists of a medal, a certificate, and a purse of $30,000 and will be presented at the Opening Ceremony of the Congress, where Prof. Rossmann will give a lecture reviewing his research.

Organizing Committee of CGA17. Seated (L to R): Connie Chidester, Robert Bryan, Chair, Marcia Vair. Standing (L to R): Ellie Adman, Drake Eggleston, Bill Duax, Judy Flippen-Anderson, Ron Stenkamp, S. N. Rao.

Rules for Registrants and Authors

Following the practice for previous Congresses, the Call for Papers indicated that an individual could be first (p resenting) author on only one abstract. This rule exists so that all presenters have an equal call upon Congress resources. Numerous requests have been received for exceptions to be made to this rule. The Organizers and the Program Committee have no wish unnecessarily to restrict the number of presentations an individual may make, provided these presentations do not place a disproportionate burden upon our resources. We have therefore modified the rule that a participant paying full registration has the privilege of presenting only one contribution (oral or poster) as follows: A participant paying the full registration fee, by June 1st, and presenting either an oral or a poster contribution, may present one additional poster on their own behalf, or on behalf of a colleague unable to attend the Congress, upon payment of an $80 supplementary fee to cover the cost of poster board rental and the additional administrative costs associated with a second contribution. The fee, which is non-refundable, should be received at the Congress Secretariat no later than April 15 if publication of the abstract is to be guaranteed.

The limitation that a selected Congress registrant may present only one oral contribution relating to research remains in force. This rule does not prevent such registrants from also making oral presentations in the form of official reports related to the activities of IUCr Commissions, etc. Speakers in regular sessions may also make an additional poster or invited oral presentation to the sessions on the Art, History, and Teaching of Crystallography without additional charge.

Administrative and Ad Hoc Scientific Sessions

Rooms are available in the Convention Center to house ad hoc meetings. Rooms will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Groups wishing to use this space should notify the Congress Secretariat as soon as possible but at least 36 hours before the event.

Audio Visual Aids

Overhead projectors and 35 mm slide projectors will be available as standard equipment for speakers in the regular sessions. Speakers planning to use more advanced facilities will be expected to provide their own equipment or to cover the cost of renting it. Anyone planning to use non-standard equipment should contact Judy Flippen-Anderson (flippen@roentgen.nrl.navy.mil) well in advance of the Congress to make the necessary arrangements.
