Message transmitted on behalf of the organizing committee of the First Franco-German Young Crystallographers Meeting (YCM1):

—–

We are pleased to announce that the first Franco-German Young Crystallographers Meeting (YCM1) will take place in Strasbourg from September 26 to 29, 2023. This new scientific event aims to bring together up to 80 young crystallographers (researchers, doctoral students, post-docs and engineers), all sciences combined. The multidisciplinary nature of crystallography will be highlighted during this event with sessions combining presentations from the fields of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mineralogy and Heritage Sciences in particular.

We will have the pleasure to receive invited speakers from academia and industry, with an inspiring background, and we will also have the privilege of meeting Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016.

We are currently preparing a special posters session called “Work with us”, where companies and industries will come to meet their potential future collaborators and present the possibilities of integrating crystallographers within them.

If you know any crystallographers in the industry who might be interested in participating in this special session and if you would like to help us, please forward them this email or give us their contact details.

The registration fees are 70 euros for young crystallographers (140 euros with accommodation for the first 50 registered ones). It is also possible to participate in this event as a “senior” crystallographer for 200 euros. The registration fees for companies wishing to participate in the “Work with us” session are 200 euros.

The deadline for abstracts is July 15, 2023. Oral presentations will be reserved for young crystallographers (up to 35 years old). For more information we encourage you to visit the congress website or send us an email at ycm1.communication@gmail.com.

The ECA (European Crystallographic Association) invites you to join the online lectures on Quantum Crystallography and Complementary Fields.

This time there will be 2 lectures which will start at 4 pm CET on the 12th of January, 2023:

Lecture 19: Jean-Michel Gillet: “Phase Space Quantum Crystallography: how about considering the other axis?”

Lecture 20: Katarzyna Pernal: “Reduced Functions and Descriptors for Accurate Electronic Structure Prediction and Understanding Chemical Bonding”

Such lectures will be held once per month, started in December 2023. For registration and more information, please have a look at the event page here.

The Local Organising Committee of ECM 33 have decided to extend the deadline for abstract submission. The new final deadline is May 16th 2022, midnight (Paris time).
Submit your abstract here.

Registration is open for the Hybrid 18th International Conference on X-Ray Absorption and Fine Structure, which will be held from 10 – 15 July 2022 in Sydney, Australia.

Early bird registration ends at June 10, 2022

You can still register for the 5th Instruct Biennial Structural Biology Conference (IBSBC), which will take place 19-20 May 2022 in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

The theme of the conference is Changes in Structural Biology: Challenges in Studying Dynamics.

The department of Crystal and Structural Chemistry and Cryo-EM (Dep. Chemistry) of Utrecht University cordially invites you to join a symposium on November 22^nd, 2019 to celebrate 25 years of Protein Crystallography at Utrecht University. Five former PhD students/postdocs will present recent highlights from their current careers. Many others will discuss their careers with current MSc and PhD students.
