Invitation and welcome

On October 23, 2012, in News, by Andreas Roodt

Dear Colleagues,

The 28th European Crystallographic Meeting will be held in Warwick during August 2013, organized by our British crystallographer colleagues.
We would like to welcome and invite to Warwick all crystallographers and scientists with interests in crystallography and crystal growth to share with us their scientific views and new achievements. It will also provide an excellent opportunity to strengthen the links with the IUCr and the regional associates AsCA and ACA.

The Program Committee is organizing a diverse scientific program of microsymposia and keynote lectures in five focus areas to illustrate the growth in science of the ECA Special Interest Groups and the additional networking activity of the General Interest Groups. At ECM28 we will celebrate the centenary of the first crystal structure determinations, and have the opportunity to view at first hand some of the original equipment used by the Bragg father and son, William Henry and William Lawrence. The award ceremony of the 7th Max Perutz Prize of the European Crystallographic Association will also take place during ECM28.

Another important component of the meeting is the ECA Council, where the councillors from 33 national members get together with the three individual members’ representatives and the corporate associate members’ representative to review the work of the Association.

Everything is in place for a successful 28th European Crystallographic Meeting, and I hope that you will accept this invitation from the ECA and our British crystallographer colleagues. I also look forward to welcoming you in person at Warwick.

Andreas Roodt
President

Invitation to ECM28

On October 23, 2012, in News, by Richard Cooper

It is a pleasure to invite you to join us for the 28th Meeting of the European Crystallographic Association in Warwick University in August 2013. Warwick is a great location for the meeting, with good quality on-site accommodation, easy transport links from Europe and, in the Warwick Arts Centre, an excellent conference venue.  We are in the process of finalising a wide-ranging scientific programme and hope to also have exhibits and activities to celebrate our crystallographic heritage, 2013 being one hundred years since the pioneering work of William and Lawrence Bragg.  We encourage you to come to what we are confident will be an exciting meeting and all of us in the British Crystallographic Association look forward to welcoming you to Warwick next August.

Prof Sandy Blake (Chair) and Prof Elspeth Garman (co-Chair)
ECM28 Organising Committee

Prof David Keen
President of the British Crystallographic Association
