GENERAL INFORMATION
Cryogenics
is a branch of science and technology which deals with problems of processes
and equipment at temperatures lower than 120 K.
This includes the range of liquid methane,
oxygen, argon, hydrogen, helium and other cryogenic gases, as well as specific
behaviour of solid materials at these temperatures. Further, processes and
devices for achieving temperatures close to absolute zero, important for
research in physics, superconductivity and its application to magnetic devices
are also included. Application of low temperatures and liquefied gases in
industry, science, medicine and many other domains of human life bring new
impulses and achievements every year.
Organizing committees of three international
conferences dealing with problems of cryogenics:
ICEC,
held every second year, usually alternating between Europe
and other parts of the world,
ICMC,
held every year, alternating between USA
(in conjunction with the US
conference CEC) and other parts of the world
and CRYOGENICS,
an IIR International conference, held every second year in Prague and attracting participants mostly from Europe but also from other parts of the world
decided to join their efforts and to hold their
conferences together in Prague
under the sheltering name CryoPrague 2006.
This makes it possible for participants from
many parts of the world to attend all three events in one trip and to meet new
colleagues and gain new perspectives. We believe that this unique event will
lead to further progress in cryogenic science and technology.

INTERNATIONAL CRYOGENIC
ENGINEERING CONFERENCE
Co-sponsored by IIR
Objectives and history
The objective of the International Cryogenic Engineering Committee is to
promote the development of cryogenic engineering on an international basis. It
operates by holding international conferences, by promoting the interchange of
information and by collaboration.
The Committee Members are
scientists and engineers representing cryogenic activities in academic
institutions, industry and governmental organizations. The major
activity is to organize the International Cryogenic engineering
Conference
every second year -- a tradition since 1966.The last three conferences were held in:
2004 Beijing, China
2002 Grenoble, France
2000 Mumbai, India

INTERNATIONAL CRYOGENIC
MATERIALS CONFERENCE
Co-sponsored
by IIR
Objectives and history
The conference is celebrating 30th anniversary in 2005. The
last two conferences and the incoming one, which will precede CryoPrague 2006,
are:
2005 Keystone,
Colorado, USA
2004 Wollongong,
New South Wales, Australia
2003 Anchorage,
Alaska, USA
Short Courses
On Monday, July 17 2006, immediately prior to the start of the conference on Tuesday morning,
ICMC will offer two short courses on cryogenic material topics.
In the morning, lectures will be presented on the testing, properties, and selection of structural
alloys and on the fabrication and properties of non-metallic composites for structures and insulation.
In the afternoon, there will be lectures on the development and properties of high and low
temperature superconductors. Additional information will be available on the conference website shortly.

and Equipment
with A1, A2, C1 Commission meetings
Objectives and history
Application of cryogenics-based technologies in metallurgy, chemistry,
power industry, medicine and other branches of the economy as well as in
science and research will be the subject of discussion.
Cryogenics 2006 is a joint Conference of IIR Commissions A1 (Cryophysics, cryoengineering), A2

CONFERENCE VENUE
The
conference will be held in the Prague Congress Centre (www.kcp.cz).
The building
occupies a unique position on top of one of the Prague hills offering a beautiful view of the
famous skyline of the cities famous skyline. Thanks to the overall
reconstruction of the Prague Congress Centre and the extension of the Holiday
Inn Prague hotel, the Centre became in 2000 one of the largest and
best-equipped European congress centres.
In
the Congress Centre there are 20 halls and 50 rooms with capacity from 12 to
2764 seats.
The
Prague Congress Centre is situated close to the underground station “Vyšehrad” (red line “C”).


VISIT PRAGUE
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic,
is a city of rich history extending over eleven centuries. It has been
acclaimed since ancient times, not only
because of its beauty, but also
because of its “genius-loci”. Its unique atmosphere stems not only from its
location on the hilly banks of the river Vltava but also from a blend of
architectural styles like Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Art Nouveau
and Cubist architecture up to contemporary styles.
The
unforgettable atmosphere of the historic city centre dominated by the Prague Castle
and the Charles’ Bridge has been enchanting every visitor. In 1992 the
historical core of the city covering 866 hectares was listed in the UNESCO
World Cultural and Natural Heritage Register. Publicly accessible churches,
museums and galleries can satisfy visitors keen on history.
Prague has played an important role in the history of the
nation, the country and the whole Europe.
Today, the city with more than 1 million inhabitants is an important centre of
business, finance, industrial, educational and cultural activities. Prague
today continues its tradition as a European cultural centre.
A wide variety of restaurants offers
all many world cuisines including the traditional Czech meals. Many experts
hold Czech beer the best in the world. Prague
also offers numerous opportunities for late evening entertainment.
