IUCr Associates Programme

[Jonathan Agbenyega]

The IUCr Associates Programme (www.iucr.org/people/associates) will launch officially during the 2017 IUCr Congress and General Assembly in Hyderabad (www.iucr2017.org/). There will be an opportunity to sign up to the programme during the Congress registration process. To register your interest, please visit www.iucr.org/people/associates/congress-special-offer.

By joining the Associates Programme you can play a much stronger role in the IUCr and its many activities. As you know, the IUCr is involved in numerous charitable activities including

  • Supporting students to attend meetings around the world; the IUCr sponsors symposia and workshops on topics relevant to crystallography, enabling young scientists to travel and attend meetings where they may not have had sufficient funds to travel alone
  • A Visiting Professor scheme, which provides support for some of the costs of having internationally recognised scientists as lecturers for short courses at workshops or schools organised in developing countries
  • Building crystallography capacity in Africa and other parts of the world; for instance, the first Pan African Conference on Crystallography (www.iucr.org/outreach/icsu2015/pccr1) was held recently at the U. of Dschang, Cameroon, with support from UNESCO.
