The Seventh joint meeting of Slovenian and Croatian crystallographers was held in Spa Radenci, Prekmurje, Slovenia, June 18-20, 1998.

There were four invited plenary lectures: Three Decades of Solid State Reactions, from Photodimerization to Methyl Transfer (M. Kaftory, Italy), How to Avoid Unnecessarily Low Symmetry (E. Tillmanns, Austria), High-Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM): Image Precessing Analysis of Defects and Grain Boundaries in nanocrystalline Materials (A.M. Tonejc, Croatia), Protein Function through Crystallography (K. Djinovic Carugo). There were 40 oral contributions dealing with all aspects of crystallography and its applications in fundamental, chemical, physical, protein and materials research. The participants enjoyed a pleasant trip to wine cellars in Gornja Radgona and the conference dinner in the local pub "Janzev vrh" in a vineyard near Spa Radenci. The program is displayed on the www at: www. uni-lj.si/www.kem/meeting.htm.
