SUMMARY:10th Anniversary Meeting of the Young Crystallographers
DESCRIPTION:The Young Crystallographers are a working group within the German Society for Crystallography (DGK). For 10 years\, we meet regularly in autumn at different universities or the STOE facilities. \nThese meetings specifically aim to provide a platform for networking and scientific exchange for young scientists with an interest in crystallography\, as well as to establish contacts with industry and research institutions. We want to give young scientists the opportunity to gain early experience in scientific presentation in a relaxed atmosphere and without the stress of a larger conference. \nFor our grand anniversary\, we are happy to meet at the DESY facilities! We are working hard to allow you deep insights as well as a great overview of the possibilities at this large-scale facility. \nDuring the 3-day meeting\, you will: \n\npresent your own work as a poster (A0 portrait) and lightning talk (~5 min.)\nhave the DESY campus tour\nparticipate in an experiment and get a hands-on experience at a beamline of your choice at PETRA III (see The Experiments)\nhear academic talks from senior scientists\nhear industry talks from our sponsors/partners\n\nAt the end of the meeting\, you will also have the chance to join a tour of the European XFEL Campus. If you intend to participate\, please indicate so during registration. Note that you will need to get to the XFEL facilities by public transport as it is a bit outside the main DESY campus. \nThe registration fee of 60 € includes the tours and experiments at DESY\, coffee breaks as well as lunch and BBQ on Thursday.

SUMMARY:Zurich School of Crystallography\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:The next Zurich School of Crystallography will be held from 29th June to 11th July 2026 at the Department of Chemistry\, University of Zurich.\nThe Zurich School of Crystallography teaches small-molecule single-crystal X-ray structure determination. It is ideal for young researchers in the molecular and solid state sciences for whom a knowledge of crystal structure analysis would be particularly helpful in their current research. Participants gain hands-on experience through lectures\, computer exercises and practical work. Participants will\ncollect data and determine the structure of one of their own compounds that they are currently interested in\, as well as working with data sets that demonstrate routine and a range of more challenging situations.

SUMMARY:Goldschmidt 2026\, Session 02h - Under pressure: from chemical bonding to planetary structures and evolution
DESCRIPTION:Dear colleagues\,\nWe hope you will join a scientific session focusing on bonding at extreme conditions at the 2026 Goldschmidt Conference in Montreal\, Canada\, July 12-17\, 2026.\nOver the past few decades\, observations of exotic bonding behaviors\, complex stoichiometries\, and low-symmetry arrangements in simple and binary systems—including noble-gas compounds—have progressively reshaped our picture of Earth’s structure and evolution\, as well as processes such as volcanism and tectonics. Rather than a relatively simple\, uniform deep Earth that can be described as consisting of a few high-symmetry phases\, we now envision a more mineralogically differentiated and chemically intricate planet\, where minor constituents can play major roles. This view aligns with the heterogeneities revealed by seismology. The exotic nature of bonding and crystal chemistry that governs Earth’s inner structure and dynamics is gradually being uncovered\, yet remains far from fully understood and generalized.\nThis session brings together experimental and theoretical studies that advance our understanding of the chemistry\, bonding\, and resulting physical properties of matter in planetary deep interiors\, as well as the extreme-condition static and dynamic processes that shape planetary compositions and structures. These include the identification of new compounds and phases\, determinations of material properties at high pressure\, and investigations of bonding mechanisms under extreme conditions. We also seek contributions that articulate open problems and challenges warranting further\ninvestigation. \nKeynote speaker: Thomas S. Duffy\, Princeton University \nPlease consider submitting an abstract by February 26\, 2026\nWe look forward to meet you in Montreal\, Canada\nBarbara Lavina (U. of Chicago & Argonne Natl. Lab.)\, Stefano Racioppi (University of Cambridge)\, Martin Rahm (Chalmers University of Technology)
