European Crystallographic Meetings

The flagship of ECA activities is the European Crystallographic Meeting (ECM), held every year, except when there is an IUCr Congress. The ECMs are the main meeting point for crystallographers in the ECA area to show their recent research. Microsymposia at ECMs are proposed and organized by ECA SIGs.

The ECMs are the general meetings of the ECA and are hold every year when there is no IUCr congress.

Next ECM

See you in Vienna!

The 32st European Crystallographic Meeting, ECM32, will take place in Vienna, Austria, from 18-23 August 2019.

The European Crystallographic Meeting is the largest forum for crystallographers in Europe in 2019. In connection with hosting several international workshops as satellite events of the ECM32, we expect even international flair from numerous participants from non-European countries joining us at the upcoming conference. We look forward to welcoming you to Vienna in the summer of 2019!
