On the basis of the MC decision, taken on the COST Action P8 MC meeting in Paris (17/09/2004), WG1, WG2 and MC meetings were organized and held as a parallel events to the International Conference on Holography, Optical Recording and Processing of Information Holography05, in Varna, Bulgaria, from 21-th till 25-th of May 2005. The programme of Holography05, presented as an Annex I to the report, includes six topics, as follows: A) Materials for holographic and optical data storage B) Digital holography and 3D display C) Systems for optical storage and processing of information D) Holographic and speckle interferometry E) Application of holographic and optical coherence methods Sessions A) and C) coincide completely with WG1 and WG2 scientific programs respectively, and include all reports of COST participants, as indicated below. The total number of invited, oral and poster presentations on the Conference were 130; their distribution within the sessions A-E is given in Table 1. The total number of Holography05 participants was 154 from 30 countries from Europe, Asia and America, the distribution of participants from different countries is presented by the histogram. The total number of COST participants, including invited speakers, is 44. Unfortunately, due to the transportation problems, the registered participants from Spain (Prof. R. Alcala, F. Martinez and Carlos Snchez Somolinos) were not able to come.

Conclusion
The International Conference Holography05 could be estimated as successful scientific event and as a forum for reporting and discussing the trends and new achievements in developing of light sensitive materials for permanent and dynamic optical recording as well for practical applications of new optical and digital information technologies for creation of systems and devices of new generation. The goals of MC decision to incorporate WG1 and WG2 meetings in the frame of Holography05 program have been achieved. One of the most essential results is the meeting of three generations of holographers and successful presentations of young scientists. The accepted reports will be published in Proceedings of SPIE. Some remarks of participants, concerning the Conference, are given as an Annex II.

Annex II
Dear Prof. Sainov, As I mentioned in my email of a few weeks ago, I will not be at Varna. I am now out of the hospital, although I am not yet able to travel. I regret not being able to go to Varna, but I hope that your symposium is going well. Give my regards to my colleagues who are perhaps wondering why I am not in Varna. Yours truly. Emmett Leith Michigan University, USA Thank you very much again for your kind invitation to Holo05 and for taking care of me in Varna and Sofia. I spent very pleasant and valuable days in Bulgaria. I would like to thank the organizing committee for wonderful arrangement of the conference. You reported the number of the participant and the country at the conference. Would you please send these data to me. Prof. Toshihiro Kubota Department of Electronics and Information Science, Faculty of Engineering and Design, Kyoto Institute of Technology, Japan I would like to say thank you for the warm hospitality that I have received during my visit in Sofia. Congratulations for the big success for the Holography'05. It is the most rewarding conference that I have ever attended. Prof. K. Hsu Chiao Tung University,Taiwan We had an excellent and very useful meeting in all aspects. The HOLOGRAPHY 2005 conference was a great success under your leadership. Prof. Levent Onural, Bilkent University, Turkey It is a pleasant duty to thank you and your crew for the way you were looking for us, before, during and after the congress, it was really fantastic. Prof. P. Boone, University of Gent, Belgium It was very exciting week in Burgaria. Thank you very much for your kindness. I could never forget the Conference and Burgarian friends I met there. Prof. Toyohiko Yatagai, Institute of Applied Physics, University of Tsukuba, Japan First of all, I want to thank you and your commitee for the very efficient organisation of the meeting in Varna. I had a very pleasant and interesting stay there. It gave me the opportunity to discuss with colleagues fruitfully. Prof. Michele Bolte, Universite Blaise Pascal, France I have come back to Tokyo safely with a lot of pleasant memory of the conference. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your very successful conference. Indeed, it was extremely well organized, and we all enjoyed the scientific discussions and the wonderful nature and surroundings in the conference venue. Prof. Mitsuo Takeda 15

You did a fantastic job with the conference. I met and had discussions with many good scientists and came away with new ideas and enthusiasm.... Prof. Denisyuk, who was the inventor of this type of holography, stated that the holograms in this room were the best in the world . James D. Trolinger, Ph.D. Vice President and Director of Research MetroLaser Incorporated, USA The Holography 05 conference was a significant and memorable event, rewarding both by the high level scientific level of the work presented in its framework, and by its warmth and freshness of human and social contacts. Prof. Paul Cristea, University Politechnica of Bucharest, Romania "Holography 2005 was a great success. There was a diverse range of quality speakers which made the conference not only relevant to a large audience, but also extremely profitable for everyone who attended. Many people after the conference agreed that this was indeed one of the best organised and planned conferences there had been for a long time. We eagerly look forward to the next Holography Conference in Bulgaria." Peter Mash, Cambridge, UK About Holography 05: I am very glad to say to you that your efforts on organizing Holography 05 resulted in the first class International Conference that demonstrated the most modern achievements of many countries in the important fields of this science. There is no doubt that Holography 05 is a great event that will stimulate many other new conferences on this problem. Prof. Y. Denisyuk, International Program Committee Chair, Ioffe Physico- Technical Institute, Russia
