Crystallography of small molecules and large molecules in the areas of very high resolution, large unit cells, microcrystals, reduced radiation damage, kinetic crystallography and multi-wavelength anomalous-dispersion phasing.
Fibre diffraction and small-angle scattering including time-resolved studies.
X-ray topography
EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure).
Diffuse scattering
X-ray optics and detectors of particular relevance to the utilization of the unique properties of synchrotron radiation.
To consider and establish contacts with associations or national commissions concerned with work on the different kinds of crystal-growth studies
To prepare periodically a list of studies carried out in the laboratories specializing in crystal growth, and to give information to laboratories working on the subject only occasionally
To encourage and to take part in the production of monographs, textbooks and films for teaching on crystal growth, and to investigate existing means
To participate in the organization and planning of symposia on crystal growth
