Zurich School of Crystallography, 2026
2026-06-29 - 2026-07-11 | Dept. of Chemistry, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse, 190, Zurich, 8057, Switzerland
The next Zurich School of Crystallography will be held from 29th June to 11th July 2026 at the Department of Chemistry, University of Zurich.
The 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
collect 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.

Materials Science and Engineering congress
2026-09-29 - 2026-10-01 | Darmstadt + online, Technical University Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany
On behalf of the German Materials Society (DGM), we are pleased to welcome you to the International Materials Science and Engineering Congress – MSE 2026 in Darmstadt, Germany. Crystallography, as a fundamental aspect of materials research, plays a crucial role in understanding and designing new materials. Its contributions are integral to many recent breakthroughs in materials science and engineering, and we look forward to exploring these connections during the course of the conference. With a range of sessions including plenary talks, highlight lectures, poster presentations, and social events, there will be ample opportunities for learning and networking. Whether attending in person or virtually, we encourage you to engage actively and contribute to shaping the future of materials science.
