The âWomen in Crystallographyâ project was launched in 2018 during the ECM31 in Oviedo (Spain) thanks to the first organized microsymposium on Women in Crystallography (MS45). The Chairs of the microsymposium (Julia Contreras GarcĂa and Annalisa Guerri) were asked to provide a logo and a motto for the MS to […]
The first Franco-German Young Crystallographers Meeting (YCM1) will take place in Strasbourg from September 26 to 29, 2023. This new scientific event aims to bring together up to 80 young crystallographers (researchers, doctoral students, post-docs and engineers), all sciences combined. The multidisciplinary nature of crystallography will be highlighted during this […]
Doctor Alexei Vagin, who died on 25th March 2023, contributed greatly to the practice of X-ray crystallography for over 50 years. He organised the (sparse) computing services of the protein group at the Moscow Institute of Crystallography during the 1970s and 80s, then after his move to Western Europe in […]
The laureate of the 2023 Erwin FĂ©lix Lewy Bertaut Prize is Dr. Matilde Saura-MĂșzquiz, for her impressive early carrier contributions to the field of crystallography of functional materials, in particular those related to the studies of magnetic and non-magnetic complex oxyde structure (scheelites, fergusonites, perovskites, pyrochlores, …) and studies on […]
