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 
([log in to unmask]). Anke Schepers can 
also assist you with your hotel reservation.

Best regards,
Ulman Lindenberger
Managing Director, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin
