FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

ASIAN CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION 
IV MEETING (AsCA'01)
18-21 November 2001
Indian Institute of Science
Bangalore, India

AsCA'01

Asian Crystallographic Association (AsCA), founded in 1987 for the 
promotion of crystallographic activities in Asia, is a regional 
associate of the International Union of Crystallography and is 
represented by 17 National Associations.  AsCA'01 is the fourth 
meeting of the association and will be held at the Indian Institute 
of Science, Bangalore, India, during November 18-21, 2001.

The Scientific Programs include plenary lectures, symposia and 
poster presentations. A number of satellite symposia and workshops 
will also be organized, either before or after AsCA'01. It might 
be possible to provide partial financial support to selected young 
crystallographers enabling them to attend the meeting. 

The venue 	
 
The venue of the meeting, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), 
founded in 1909, is one of the oldest modern research centres of 
Asia. Since then, IISc has grown into a premier institution of 
research, with more than 2000 active members working in almost 
all frontier areas of Science and Technology. IISc is situated 
in Bangalore, which is the hub of scientific and IT activity in 
India. Bangalore weather is good throughout the year and is very 
pleasant during November. It is the capital of Karnataka State, 
famous for jasmine, silk and sandal wood artifacts. 
The cosmopolitan atmosphere of Bangalore is representative of 
India, which is a world within a world. The literature, art 
and culture of India stretch back to prehistoric times. It is a 
land of multiple colours, sounds, smells and cultures. All major 
religious and secular movements of the world either originated 
from India or find a peaceful shelter here. 

A visit to Bangalore and India is an unforgettable experience.
