It is still possible to register for the NVK Online Powder Diffraction School 2020, that will take place online from November 24^th to 26^th , but the deadline is coming closer. With this online workshop+school on Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) we intend to help participants to overcome the barriers to look into their data in greater detail. In a 3-day intensive course the participant will learn the basic theory behind powder diffraction and how crystallographic analysis of PXRD data may help them to answer concrete questions on the material of their subject. The registration form can be found here.

A limited number of bursaries is available for the online course. Check out the course page here.

The latest issue of the IUCr Newsletter (Volume 28, no 3) is now available to readers.

The Abstract Submission deadline for the EPDIC 17, which will be held from 26 – 30 May in Šibenik, Croatia has been extended to February 14th, 2020 (until 23:59:59 CET).

For abstracts received after February 14, 2020 you will have to pay an extra submission fee of about 30 EUR and late abstracts will be considered only as poster contributions.

After being in the NVK board for more than 10 years, Martin Lutz has laid down his function as secretary. We thank Martin for all his efforts in organizing lively meetings and finding good speakers.

Martin will be succeeded by Sven Hennig, who will join the NVK board as secretary. Sven has already shown his commitment for the NVK, while organizing the 2019 Structural Biology meeting: Interacting with Proteins : A structural view. We welcome Sven in our team and look forward to a fruitful cooperation.
