  • To present at the same meetings common aspects of the inorganic structures independently from their natural or synthetic origin.
  • To favour the historical influence that mineral structures have played on developing inorganic materials of technological interest.
  • To promote and encourage the publication of inorganic and mineralogical papers in the Journals of the Union.
  • To promote the development and dissemination of methods, computing programs and databases of interest for the inorganic crystallographic community.
