Scope and Objectives

The purpose of the General Interest Group for Young Crystallographers (GIG-YC) is to represent the interests, needs and concerns of European Young Crystallographers. In particular the GIG’s goals are:

To incorporate the YCs into the ECA community and promote activities at scientific, organizational and social levels
To construct an appropriate scenario for the exchange of ideas and information relevant to YCs
To act as a breeding ground for new projects and collaborations between different groups initiated by YCs taking their first steps into independent research

Membership

Membership of this Group is open to all European graduate students as well as postdoctoral fellows or other young scientists who are starting their career in crystallography or in any related area. To join the group you must be an individual member of the ECA. For registration please click the “Join Group” button in this page.
