Andreas Roodt, ECA President, presents the sixth Max Perutz Prize of the European Crystallographic Association to Professor Hartmut Fuess from the Department of Materials Science at the University of Technology in Darmstadt , Germany. The citation reads: 'Hartmut Fuess is recognized for his outstanding contributions to structure research of functional materials such as zeolites, fuel cells, and magnetic materials, the construction of scientific instruments at large-scale synchrotron and neutron facilities and the skilled and enthusiastic service to crystallography in Europe and the broader international community.'

Andreas Roodt, ECA President, presents the fifth Erwin Felix Lewy Bertaut Prize of the European Crystallographic Association to Dr Pavel V. Afonine from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkley, USA. The citation reads: 'Dr Pavel Afonine is recognised for his notable work on the theoretical and methodological aspects of X-ray and neutron macromolecular crystallography and specifically has developed software to use neutron diffraction data in combination with or separately from X-ray diffraction data.'
