19 SOME REMARKS ON THE PROGRAMME AND THE ARCHIVES By the Secretary-General An international scientific-technical congress is a highly justifiable event, from many points of view. It brings together for a short time — for practical and economic reasons often all too short — a large number of specialists, giving them an opportunity to get to know each other and establish contacts that frequently prove to be very valuable in the future. At the congress research workers, instrument manufacturers and others can report on current or recently completed development work, and the participants are offered a very concentrated 'picture of the state of development, which often — after certain further consideration — becomes the basis for future work. When a congress is imminent, it often has an accelerating effect on research workers, instrument manufacturers and others, stimulating them in their activi ties and thus hastening development, to some extent by fostering a spirit of healthy competition. The discussions that take place during the congress — both at the meetings and over the luncheon table — are one of the most valuable elements in such a congress. At the same time, it is very difficult to arrange during the sessions large-scale discussions on subjects of interest to the great majority of participants. The preparation of a congress programme to ensure fulfilment of the above four functions is associated with great difficulties for several reasons, such as the following: decisions regarding participation can generally not be given until late, which involves great uncertainty as to the number of participants as a whole, and as to which active, pre-eminent figures can be expected, research and development projects are often completed just before the congress, and this leads to lateness in the announcement of papers, the distribution of summaries and off-prints etc., the extent of the discussions can hardly be foreseen except in a few isolated cases, and lecturers often greatly exceed the time assigned to them. When we began to prepare the programme for the congress, we made certain forecasts of the number of participants, papers, off-prints, languages, etc., and tried to verify our forecasts by asking for preliminary registrations for the Congress. In addition certain dead-lines (with some margins) were fixed for announcement of papers, delivery of reports, submission of summaries etc. In spite of these measures we found when we came to the final adjustment of the programme a week or two before the congress that we were faced with more than double the number of papers and off-prints announced before the dead line. Since we did not consider we had the right to deny anyone the opportunity to present the results of his work at the Congress, we suggested to the com mission boards and lecturers to place certain papers in the »read-by-title group». Although this was adopted for many papers, we could not avoid having a number of simultaneous meetings, and we could only allow very short times for presentation of papers in order to ensure that 40 % of the total com mission sessions time (about 44h) could be devoted to discussions (about 19h),
