The British Crystallographic Association Chemical Crystallography Group (CCG) are hosting their Autumn Meeting on Wednesday 18th November 2020. The event will run over one day and will be held this year in a virtual format.

The Autumn meeting confirmed speakers include plenary speaker Dr Rachel Crespo-Otero from Queen Mary University of London and, winner of the CCDC Chemical Crystallography Prize for Younger Scientists 2020, Dr Karen Robertson from the University of Nottingham.

The day will also include selected talks from the Chemical Crystallography community. To submit your abstract for consideration, email CCG Chair Dr Iain Oswald: [email protected].

Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la tenue du prochain congrès de l'Association Française de Cristallographie à  Grenoble du mardi 30 juin au vendredi 3 juillet 2020.

AFC 2020, ce seront 16 sessions pensées autour des groupes thématiques - biologie, chimie, physique - et des axes transverses - croissance cristalline, enseignement et médiation, grands instruments - de l'AFC ainsi que les sciences de la Terre et toutes les interfaces entre ces disciplines. Trois conférences plénières, des ateliers, des sessions posters, des rencontres avec les exposants, une conférence grand public, et quelques surprises sont également prévues. Ce congrès de l’AFC sera aussi l’occasion de la remise du premier prix "André Guinier", des prix de thèse et de la tenue de l’assemblée générale.

The meeting aims to reinforce European scientific communication and
speakers will emphasize on the methodology, difficulties as well as
troubleshooting steps they followed during their research. The event is
supported by the European Crystallographic Association (ECA).

10 scholarships of 100 euros will be available for young participants from
abroad. To apply for the scholarship, please, send a short CV and apply at
our email address ([email protected]).

Every year the crystallographers from different countries meet at the annual Slovenian-Croatian (Croatian-Slovenian) crystallographic meeting to present their work and exchange ideas in multiple areas of research involving crystallography.

The Seventh National Crystallographic Symposium of the Bulgarian Crystallographic Society will be held at the University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy, Sofia, Bulgaria.

As a well established event, the National Crystallographic Symposium is held every two years with guest lecturers in areas of different applications of crystallography.
