The first conference on quasicrystals (QCs) in the new millennium had A. Yamamoto and A. P. Tsai as its Chairpersons. The aim of the conference was to bring scientists from various fields to have new views on QCs, to share recent excitements and achievements, and to gain new insight linking fundamental research with practical applications. There were nearly 140 participants from more than fifteen countries, mainly from Japan, Germany, France, Korea, India, China, UK, USA, The Netherlands and Switzerland. There were four participants from India-S. Ranganathan (IISc), N. K. Mukhopadhyay (BHU), Alok Singh (Kalpakkam) and M. Abu Shaz (BHU). S. Ranganathan chaired one technical session. The scientific programme consisted of 60 oral presentations in 16 sessions and 70 poster presentations in two sessions, totalling 130 papers, which covered many important issues in QCs, including applications, metallurgy, crystallography, phase stability, structure, dynamics and defects. In the following we will highlight some important and interesting discussions.
