On Wednesday 16�June at 4.00�p.m. a symposium will be held in the CERN Main Auditorium in memory of three great figures in the history of CERN and its Research Programmes, namely Charles Peyrou, Lucien Montanet and Rafael Armenteros, all of whom recently passed away. Each of them, notably led CERN's bubble-chamber programmes. Tributes appeared in the Weekly Bulletin issues 17/2003, 28/2003 and 14/2004.
Since the symposium will take place on the day between the Scientific Policy Committee (SPC) meeting and the Council session, it will be possible for many colleagues and friends to attend alongside family members. All CERN staff members who wish to attend are also invited.
Eight speakers who were close to each of the men at various times will share their vivid recollections, recalling the major scientific contributions they made and underlining the important role they played both at CERN and in the international scientific community.
At the end of the symposium, drinks will be served at the invitation of the Director-General.
Speakers : Manuel Aguilar-Benitez, Paul Baillon, Patrick Fleury, Leonid Nemenov, Henri Piatier, Emanuele Quercigh, Juan-Antonio Rubio, Ryszard Sosnowski
