Choose your conferences carefully

We encourage our membership to join us at the IUCr Congress in Melbourne in August 2023. This event is not-for-profit and any proceeds go directly back into supporting crystallography and structural science. We have been alerted to the fact that there is another crystallography meeting being advertised in April 2023 and held in the UAE. Please note that this is not supported by the IUCr, and we have heard claims that the organisers are fraudulently using the names of people in the crystallographic community to attract speakers to this for-profit event.

The IUCr is not against the holding of other events in the same research area, in fact we really like to support these. However, we prefer to supply funds to non-profit events and those that are advertised in a transparent manner.
