IUCr sponsorship and support of meetings
In order to fulfill its roles to promote international cooperation in crystallography and to contribute to the advancement of crystallography in all its aspects the IUCr regularly sponsors symposia and workshops on topics relevant to crystallography. There is a well defined procedure that should be followed when applying for sponsorship. The rules can be found here.
The Executive Committee has considered the latest quarterly batch of applications submitted to the Sub-Committee on the Union Calendar and we have pleasure in announcing the following events have been granted sponsorship and financial support for young scientists.
- Second Balkan School on Fundamental Crystallography and Workshop on Magnetic Symmetry and Its Application in Magnetic Structure Description, Marmaris, Turkey, 13–19 July 2015

The conditions of sponsorship are as follows: A substantially reduced registration fee should be provided for recipients of the Young Scientist Awards. Preference should be given to those young scientists who have published in IUCr journals. For meetings of a more general nature preference should be given to young scientists with a crystallographic background. Awards for young scientists should be used solely for travel and subsistence expenses and not as a waiver of registration fees. Young scientists are graduate students, post-graduate students or post-doctoral fellows with a maximum age of 30 (exceptionally 35). A report on the uses made of the above money and a general report on the meeting should be sent to execsec@iucr.org
