On behalf of organizing committee, we would like to express our gratitude to all of you who have supported us for this project to come true. We sincerely thank our main partner University of Latvia and specially Professor Valdis Segliņš for his personal encouragement and support, which was crucial for our team. We are also grateful to Sietronics/SiroQuant for sponsoring the event. Latvian Clay Group is very honoured for the presence of the President of AIPEA, Professor Reiner Dohrmann, and we thank him for his enthusiasm and support in organizing the Clay meetings in Northern Europe. Special thanks to the French Clay Group and its members Jocelyne Brendlé and Lionel Limousy, as well as Mejdi Jeguirim for their support in organizing the special issue of the Comptes Rendus Chimie devoted to this symposium. Many thanks to our friends and colleagues from Estonia, Russia, Lithuania, Sweden, Algeria, France, Germany and Croatia for their participation. We have chosen to organize the symposium program in four parts. The first session will be devoted to the environmental aspects of clays in geology and modern soils. The second session features talks about the clay-based composite materials. In the third part of conference we have regrouped talks about the diffusion, sorption and cation exchange processes involving clay minerals. Finally, the fourth session will be about clays in archaeology and arts. Do not miss the chance to visit the exposition featuring artwork from clays by Ieva Bertašiūtė Grosbaha and the exposition about Latvian clay scientists near the conference room prepared by the librarians of Natural Sciences of the University of Latvia R. Alkšbirze, E. Sniedze and A. Pūcēna. We wish you productive scientific discussions during the conference and enjoyable stay in Riga.
