Registration for the 7th European Crystallographic School is now open! The school will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, at the Chemical Engineering Department of Instituto Superior TĂ©cnico, Lisbon University from 10 to 15 July 2022. The program of the 2022 school will focus on the X-ray crystallography of powders, small molecules and proteins, covering […]
2020 was a particular year, keeping communication on the scientific scene on an extremely low level. SIG4, therefore, decided to fill the information gap and organize a short workshop on 17 December 2020 for keeping the community alive and updated on the progress in the field of electron crystallography. The […]
PhD’s, postdocs and other researchers in the Netherlands and beyond are invited to join an online course in Powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD) that will be held from 24th to 26th of November of this year 2020. With this online workshop and school on Powder Diffraction we intend to help participants […]
Student and young researchers are invited to attend the 5th European Crystallographic School which will be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa, 8-14 July 2018 under the auspices of the European Crystallographic Association, International Union of Crystallography and the South African Crystallographic Society. The aim of the school is to give […]
The ECA will provide grants to support the participation of young reserachers to the IUCr-IUPAP-ICTP OpenLab in Senegal next 20 November  – 2 December 2017 (https://www.iycr2014.org/events/openlabs/iucr-iupap-ictp-openlab-senegal). The ECA is strongly committed to encourage the development of a network of active crystallographers in Africa and is particularly aimed to favour young researchers […]
A new Museum showing the beauty of crystallography has been inaugurated at the University of Parma. The exhibition covers different aspects of crystallography and it is particularly focused on the connection between crystals and daily life, medicine, nutrition, advanced materials, with the aim to highlight the importance of structure in […]
The German Crystallographic Association (DGK) and the Italian Crystallographic Association (AIC) announced the offer of travel grants for graduate or postgraduate students, from Germany and Italy respectively, planning to participate at the 4th European Crystallography School (ECS 4), Warsaw, Poland, 2–7 July 2017. This very welcomed initiative is important to […]
Since ancient times, crystals have captivated humankind. However, the beauty of crystals is not only found on the outside but also on the inner structure. The arrangement of atoms or the stacking of molecules displays also perfection and harmony that are constantly surprising us. Crystal structures, solved by X-ray diffraction, […]
The ECS4 (2 – 7 July 2017) is dedicated to chemists and young crystallographers who would like to master their knowledge of modern X-ray crystallography and/or to improve their experimental capabilities by learning the state-of-the-art methodologies and range of possible applications of crystallography in solving chemical problems in materials science, […]
