Our aim is to discuss and exchange ideas and to tackle the challenges related to the method development in crystallography. Participants can be early career scientists (PhD students, Postdocs, etc.) as well as established developers.

Our confirmed speakers are:

• Simon Billinge (Columbia University, USA)
• Luc Bourhis (Bruker, France)
