In Krakow
APERIODIC 2027
|
In Krakow
The XII International Conference on Aperiodic Crystals (APERIODIC 2027) will be the next meeting in a series of conferences supported by the Commission on Aperiodic Crystals (CAC) of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), organized triennially on different continents. The most recent meetings took place in Caen (France, 2024), Sapporo (Japan, 2022), Ames Iowa (the USA, 2018), Prague (Czech Republic, 2015), Cairns (Australia, 2012), Liverpool (UK, 2009), Zao (Japan, 2006), Belo Horizonte (Brazil, 2003), Nijmegen (The Netherlands, 2000). Aperiodic XII provides an excellent opportunity to learn about new results in the field of aperiodic crystals, including incommensurately modulated phases, composite crystals, and quasicrystals. All related topics are warmly welcomed! Aperiodic 2027 also offers an opportunity for researchers working in these fields to exchange ideas and encourage collaborations with other research groups, hence promoting material science and engineering. The conference venue will be located on the campus of AGH University, within walking distance of the historical center of Kraków, Poland.Â
27th June â€" 2nd July 2027, AGH University of Kraków, PolandÂ
You are welcome!Â

SMARTER 9
| - |
In Bayreuth
SMARTER is dedicated to advancing the integration of spectroscopic techniques like solid-state NMR spectroscopy, scattering methods, and computational modelling to tackle the challenges of ab initio structure elucidation and the derivation of structureâ€"property relationships in complex materials. These include inorganic frameworks, organic solids, hybrid systems, energy materials and biomaterials, often exhibiting disorder, confinement, or low crystallinity. The conference series was founded to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and methodological cross-fertilisation.
SMARTER 9 will continue this tradition by featuring invited speakers who represent a broad spectrum of experimental and theoretical approaches. Key topics include:
- advanced strategies for structure elucidation from powdered samples and disordered materials
- synergistic use of spectroscopic and diffraction data with computational modelling
- integration of machine learning for analysis and AI-assisted interpretation
- treating dynamic and heterogeneous systems using in situ and operando techniques
- linking atomic-scale insights to macroscopic material properties
