Slovenian-Croatian Crystallographic Meeting
Slovenia

A meeting was organized by the Slovenian Crystallographic Society and a joint Slovenian-Croatian Organizing Committee in Otocec, Slovenia, Oct. 1-2, 1992, to continue the long tradition of crystallographic meetings organized by the former Yugoslav Center of Crystallography. KRKA, Pharmaceutical Factory, Novo mesto, Slovenia, was the official sponsor of the meeting.

Main topics of the conference were: chemical, biological, physical, and industrial crystallography, and mineralogy. There were 42 scientific contributions including plenary lectures by: A. Kalman (Budapest) "On the nature of hypervalent bonds in sulfuranes;" B. Kojic-Prodic (Zagreb) "The biological significance of conformational changes of the glucopyranose moiety in peptidoglycans;" C. Kratky (Graz) "Crystallography of B12 coenzymes;" and V. Krasevec (Ljubljana) "Crystallography of 20 precipitates caused by a minor phase additions in some ceramic systems."

All contributions were published in the Book of Abstracts. Copies are available on request. The official language of the meeting was English. The 1993 Meeting will be organized by Croatian colleagues in the vicinity of Zagreb, Croatia.
