Pertubuhan Kristalografi Malaysia – Malaysian Crystallographic Association
On 3 June 2014, the Steering Committee of the Malaysian Crystallographic Association announced Government approval for the establishment of the Pertubuhan Kristalografi Malaysia.
The act signifies Malaysia’s intention to participate formally in the IUCr, an on-going project led by the Malaysian Crystallographic Association under the guidance of Dr Nadiah Halim of the University of Malaysia.
The University of Malaya held its first Chemical Symposium in Kuala Lumpur recently, which was the first formal commemoration of the International Year of Crystallography in Malaysia.
The event was sponsored by the Department of Chemistry with thanks due to the Head of Department, Professor Dr Sharifuddin Md Zain. The visit of Professor Gautam Desiraju, President of the IUCr, to the event was largely supported by the University of Malaya’s High Impact Research scheme administered by the University through the Ministry of Education.
To register your interest in joining the Association, send an email to Dr Low Yun Yee ([email protected]), interim Secretary. Plans for an Annual General Meeting later in the year are being made where elections will be held for Office bearers and Committee members.
