The IMA General Meeting in Kobe - CPM was a member of the organizing committee and program committee. CPM submitted five proposed sessions on Mineral Physics for the IMA2006Kobe meeting (23th-28th July, 2006), and sponsored two mineral physics sessions; Mineralogy and dynamics of the mantle and core (Convened by Bass, Hirose, Ohtani, Rubie) amd Structure and physical properties of melts and glasses (Convened Neuville) by Henderson, Kanzaki, Neuville) and is going to make an invited talk.

2006 Goldschmidt Conference, Melbourne (27th August- 1st September, 2006) - session on perovskite and post-perovskite and mantle dynamics; E. Ohtani, convenor.
