Crystallography at high pressures 2006

Dubna, Russia, September 28 – October 1, 2006

The International Workshop on Crystallography at High Pressure - 2006 followed the sequence of workshops organized on behalf of the IUCr Commission on High Pressure (ESRF, Grenoble, 1997; Argonne, USA, 1998; SPring-8, Japan, 2000; Orsay, France, 2001; Berkeley, USA, 2003; Saskatoon, Canada 2004) and also the sequence of meetings on Neutron Scattering at High Pressure organized by the FLNP JINR (NSHP-I in 1994 and NSHP-II in 1999, Dubna, Russia).

11 August 1999

D. L. Dorset, chair, S. Hovmõller secretary

Before the Congress, a workshop on 'Structure factor phase determination in electron crystallography', organized by S.Hovmõller and J. Gjønnes, was held at the Glasgow Convention Center on 4 August and generated lively discussion about various aspects of crystal structure determination via electron diffraction data.

Aug 14, Geneva

J. Spence chair, A. Eades Secretary

At an earlier meeting of the IUCr executive committee, the current committee was nominated; all those nominated subsequently agreed to serve on the new CED. 6 members of the new committee were present at the Geneva CED meeting.

The CED agreed that its mission was to promote electron crystallography and to provide a coordinating intelligence and resource for researchers. The IUCr executive requested that a new web page be established for the CED at the IUCr Chester site. This is it.

The regular school on Electronic crystallography was carried out in Moscow from June, 23 till June, 27 2003 in the Institute of crystallography of the Russian Academy of Science. It has been organized under the initiative of the Commission on electronic diffraction at the International Union of Crystallographers and at its financial support. Carrying out of the school has been devoted to celebrating 60-years formations of IC RAS.

There were in total 100 Chinese participants attending the workshop/school.

• To establish and strengthen contacts with national crystallographic societies or their associated national committees concerned with work on the different kinds of material science studies and crystallography of materials.
• To prepare periodically a list of studies carried out in the laboratories specializing in material science, and to give information to laboratories working in these areas.
• To encourage and to take part in the production of monographs, textbooks and films for teaching on crystallography of materials in material science.
