5. 5. Scientific ProgramScientific Program During the selection process, we had solicited opinions from members of the Scientific Program Committee regarding many issues such as the selection of parallel session conveners, plenary session talks, and time allocation to the sessions and the plenary talks. In general, there had been very good input, but in many cases replies came too slow.

Topics for plenary sessions had been selected on the basis of the most recent developments in the field with some considerations given to regional balance. The responsibilities for selecting topics for parallel sessions had been largely given to the session conveners who had full authority in organizing topics in his/her session. Details are as below:

Support to students and participants from developing countries 35,000 USD (China Pakistan Russia Argentina Czech Vietnam Ukraine Serbia and Montenegro India Korea Russia)

Meeting support 5,000USD (Including two C-11 meetings, ICFA, ILCSC one day, Interactions Collaboration two full days)

Total outlay: 250,700 USD In addition to pay the deficit of 5000 USD, IHEP also suppo

rted a large amount of manpower, postages, office supply in total about 12,000 USD.

6. 6. FinanceFinance

The conference should have more income, and the

relatively larger expenditure was mainly due to

1) Number of people showing up was much less

than expected, and yet most contracts had been signed

on the basis of 900 or 1000 people, proceedings and

the banquet for instance,

2) We had supported too many local students and

participants from poor local institutions.

7. Proceedings7. Proceedings

Proceedings (two volume

s) were contracted to WSP,

Singapore and are now

ready and are being

distributed.

8. Summary8. Summary

The conference had been very successful in that it

had been carried out in full conformity with the IUPAP

values and principles, through the conference scientific

ideas had been exchanged among the participants,

friendship and cooperation had been strengthened.

Hereby I would like to be on behalf of the host

institution to express my thanks to all the sponsors and

everybody here who made it available for us to host

ICHEP’04.
