Dear colleagues,
With this e-mail and also on behalf of my colleagues Jürgen Baumert, Gerd Gigerenzer, and the entire staff of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, I would like to extend a cordial invitation to you to take part in an Academic Memorial commemorating the untimely death of our esteemed colleague, Prof. Dr. Drs. hc. Paul B. Baltes (1939-2006).
The Memorial will take place on January 12, 2007, in Berlin. The venue will be the Harnack-Haus, Ihnestrasse 16-20, 14195 Berlin, Germany, which is located in the same district as the MPI for Human Development (www.harnackhaus-berlin.mpg.de/eng-index.htm).
The Memorial will begin at 10 am with a series of salutations, followed by a scientific colloquium. Between these two parts, a lunch buffet will provide opportunity for informal exchange. The memorial is expected to end at 4:30 pm. The detailed program with the list of speakers is almost complete, and will be made available soon; please check the institute's homepage, www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de.
If you wish to receive a written invitation to the Memorial, please send an e-mail with your contact details to Anke Schepers (schepers@mpib-berlin.mpg.de). Anke Schepers can also assist you with your hotel reservation.
Best regards, Ulman Lindenberger Managing Director, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin
