Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to Beijing for the Joint Conference of the Asian
Crystallographic Association and Chinese Crystallographic Society, AsCA'09,
from October 22-25 2009.

This conference is devoted to crystallography in Asia. The meeting aims to
cover all aspects of crystallography, ranging from inorganic and organic
small molecules to macromolecular proteins, viruses, and membrane proteins;
from crystal growth to protein engineering; from structural chemistry and
material science to nanoscience and nanotechnology; from crystal structure,
proteomics, and genomics, to drug design; from diffraction physics and ray
optics to the applications of electron, neutron, and synchrotron X-ray
photons for structural investigations, and so on.

Beijing, the host city of the 2008 Olympic Games, is the political,
educational and cultural capital of China. It offers an exciting and
stimulating blend of rich cultural heritage and thoroughly modern
facilities. The city is home to many beautiful historic sites, including the
Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace.

The AsCA'09 meeting will be held in Jingyi Hotel, an elegant conference
facility opened prior to the 2008 Olympic Games. Boasting excellent meeting,
recreation and health facilities, Jingyi Hotel is located 6 km from downtown
Beijing and 40 km from Beijing International Airport. It is within easy
reach of many cultural sights, either via taxi or by subway from two nearby
subway stations.

We look forward to welcoming you to Beijing in 2009. With your
participation, we have every confidence that AsCA'09 will be a successful
meeting, both scientifically and socially.

Yours sincerely,

Zihe Rao
Chairman, AsCA'09
President of Nankai University
President of the Biophysical Society of China

Jianhua Lin
Chairman, AsCA'09
Vice President of Peking University
President of the Chinese Crystallographic Society

A new feature of this AsCA meeting will be a Plenary Symposium Session for
young scientists, 'AsCA Rising Stars'.  Six speakers will be selected from
the submitted abstract to participate in this symposium.  Those eligible for
selection will either be current PhD students or a young post-docs (thesis
submitted after October 2006).

When the abstract is submitted, a letter must be provided by the young
scientist's supervisor requesting that he/she be considered for this session
and confirming their eligibility. The supervisor must then ensure that any
young scientist they are recommending comes prepared to give a 15 minute
plenary presentation.

Young scientists selected to participate will be notified the evening before
the 'Rising Stars' symposium.  Two speakers will be selected from each of
the meeting's main themes, Structural Biology, Chemical Crystallography, and
Specialized Techniques.
