Success Stories

Our outreach efforts, rooted in the vision of the International Year of Crystallography 2014, continue to inspire and shape the global scientific community.

The establishment of the African Crystallographic Association (AfCA) means this independent body now leads initiatives across Africa, ensuring the growth of crystallography in the region. While IUCr no longer directly supports these activities, AfCA stands as a testament to the success of collaborative capacity-building efforts.

IUCr remains deeply committed to advancing structural science worldwide. Explore our ongoing programs that continue to drive outreach and education, including:

Crystal Growing Competition: Inspiring the next generation of scientists.

OpenLabs: Supporting the development of crystallographic expertise in under-resourced regions.

LAAAMP: a major outcome of this project will be a buy-in by governmental officials that AdLSs and crystallography will bring major advances in their countries' socio-economic development.
