Dear all,
With this email we would like to announce the Paul B. Baltes Symposium in Honor of John R. Nesselroade.
The annual Paul B. Baltes Lecture was initiated to commemorate Paul Baltes' achievements for psychological research in the Berlin-Potsdam region and his contributions to psychology. Since 2008, leading scientists have been invited to give talks on their current research.
On the occasion of the Humboldt University Berlin's conferral of an honorary doctorate upon John R. Nesselroade, this year's Paul B. Baltes Lecture will be transformed to a Paul B. Baltes Symposium in Honor of John R. Nesselroade.
The Paul B. Baltes Lecture series is hosted by the Psychological Institutes of the Free University Berlin, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Technische Universität Berlin and the Universität Potsdam in collaboration with the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and is supported by the Margret M. and Paul B. Baltes Foundation. This year's event will be organized by the MPI for Human Development.
The symposium will take place on October 22, 2010, from 6:00 pm to approx. 8:00 pm, in the Leibniz-Saal of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. The speakers are:
-- Peter Molenaar, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
-- Bernd Schmitz, Technische Universität Darmstadt
-- Sy-Miin Chow, University of North Carolina, USA-- Florian Schmiedek, Deutsches Institut für Internationale Pädagogische Forschung, Frankfurt am Main
John R. Nesselroade will be given the opportunity to comment.
On behalf of the psychological institutes in Berlin and Potsdam, the BBAW, and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development I cordially invite you to join the symposium!
If you plan to attend, please let us know by sending an e-mail to JRN-Symposium-Oct22@mpib-berlin.mpg.de.
Yours sincerely,
