SUMMARY:International AIC SCHOOL 2026
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues\, \nthe International AIC School 2026\, organized under the auspices of the Italian Crystallographic Association (AIC)\, is a four-day educational event dedicated to exploring the world of crystallography\, from its fundamental principles to its most innovative applications. \nHosted in the beautiful city of Bari (Italy)\, the School aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical foundations and the latest developments shaping modern crystallographic research. \nDesigned for young scientists\, PhD students\, and early-career researchers\, the School offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from leading experts in the field. Through lectures\, computing sessions\, and discussions\, participants will gain valuable insights into diffraction methods\, structure determination\, computational tools\, and emerging frontiers such as nanoscale materials analysis and artificial intelligence. \nParticipants will also be invited to present their crystallographic research through poster sessions and short oral contributions\, with a limited number of slots available for very brief talks. \nWith its balanced mix of foundational teaching and exposure to cutting-edge topics\, the AIC School 2026 promises to be an enriching experience\, a place to learn\, share\, and envision the future of crystallography in advancing materials science and related fields. \nWe look forward to welcoming you in Bari! \nAngela Altomare and Aurelia Falcicchio \non behalf of the Scientific Committee and the Organizing Committee \nInternational AIC School 2026

SUMMARY:Diffraction Methods in Structural Biology 2026
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for Diffraction Methods in Structural Biology 2026 (DiffMet2026). The registration deadline is April 30th\, 2026. \nConference structure\n• July 19–20: Early Career Diffraction Methods Seminar – a meeting primarily organized by and for early-career researchers\n• From the evening of July 20 onward: Main DiffMet2026 Conference\nParticipants are welcome to attend both parts of the meeting. \nTheme: Limitations & Expansions of Diffraction Methods in Structural Biology\nDiffMet2026 focuses on diffraction-based methods in structural biology\, emphasizing a deep understanding of current methodological limitations and exploring strategies to extend or transcend them through innovation and multimodal approaches. \nTopics will include (but are not limited to):\n• Time-resolved crystallography and its fundamental limits\n• MicroED\, XFEL\, neutron diffraction\, and synchrotron-based methods\n• Detector performance\, radiation damage\, and achievable resolution\n• Integration of diffraction with complementary techniques\n• Roles and limitations of AI in data processing and structure prediction \nEarly Career Seminar: Growing the Future of Diffraction Methods\nThis seminar is aimed at early career researchers (i.e.\, students\, postdocs\, and all those not yet in a permanent position). It will include talks by the early career attendees\, as well as a poster session in the evening of July 19th; please submit your oral/poster presentation abstracts by *April 30\, 2026*. We will form the ECS scientific program on the basis of the submitted abstracts\, so all diffraction methods-related topics are welcome! In addition to the scientific talks and posters by early career attendees\, the ECS will also feature a keynote presentation by Montserrat Soler Lopez (ESRF) and a career panel. \nRegistration fee:\n• €1200 (includes accommodation and all meals)

SUMMARY:Materials Science and Engineering congress
DESCRIPTION: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.
