A joint symposium of NVK together with DACG (Dutch Association for Crystal Growth) will be organized at the Science Campus of Maastricht University on 31 May 2024. On the afternoon before, 30 May, we will organize a satellite meeting for young researchers with an interesting evening program and overnight stay. Details following soon.

Another successful edition of the “Kristalfabriek”
By: Sandra Eltschkner
On 7th of October, it was time again for the Open Day at Science Park in Amsterdam! From noon on, there were many visitors, especially parents with their children, who were enthusiastic to learn about the different facets of science.
Like last year, we were organising the “Kristalfabriek” to introduce visitors to the enormous use but also to the undeniable aesthetics of protein crystallography. Our guests could grow their own protein crystals in just 15 min. and stain them with a blue dye to determine if they were real protein crystals. On a big screen but also through the microscope, the experimenters could marvel at their work. It was an exciting day and I hope that we succeeded in directing more attention to the value of crystallography and structural biology!
First Franco-German Young Crystallographers Meeting (YCM1)
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.
