The ISXB series of symposium aim to bring together researchers from all over the world who are interested in the fascinating phenomenon of halogen bonding and related interactions, from fundamental principles to applied technologies, covering both experimental and theoretical approaches in various areas of research ranging from advanced materials to medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.

The ISXB6 will feature keynote addresses and invited lectures by internationally renowned experts, contributed presentations, posters, and flash communications by young and promising researchers. The Symposium will also provide ample opportunities for networking and socializing in a friendly and stimulating atmosphere.

It will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, from October 20-25, 2024. The symposium will take place at the Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel, a modern resort located in a secluded beachfront location in the vicinity of the Dubrovnik Old Town.

Sagamore is a prestigious conference that has been held triennially since 1964 under the auspices of the IUCr Commission on Quantum Crystallography (formerly the Charge, Spin, and Momentum Densities).

The Sagamore conferences have traditionally concerned interchange between researchers interested in property densities or distributions of materials such as the electron distribution, spin distribution, nuclear particle distribution, and electrostatic potential studied by the most accurate theoretical methods, and using the most advanced experimental techniques. There has been a focus on diffraction and scattering methods, and reconciling differences between the different methodologies.

The field has undergone rapid change in the last decade, with the term “Quantum Crystallography” being used to emphasize wave function based modelling methods. At the same time, both the quantity and precision of data have also increased due to advances in detector technology. There is a race to make the data from these methods available to general chemists, and to reveal new physical and chemical insights that may be exploited.

For the first time, the Sagamore conference will be held in India on the beautiful grounds of Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence, one of the 12 Institutions of Eminence designated by the Government of India. A tour of the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is also included in the program.

The timing of this event is such that attendees have the option to continue on to the Asia-Pacific Microscopy Conference in Brisbane (February 2-7), where there will be a substantial cryo-EM program. Other options include the Lorne series of conferences.

Conference material

At the beginning of the Conference every participant will receive the Book of abstracts in Serbian and English.

The conference aims to provide a forum to highlight state-of-the-art developments in computational cryoEM and related themes, as well as showcasing outstanding recent biological applications. We aim to promote an inclusive, friendly atmosphere, welcoming those both old and new to the community. Topics include instrument technology, sample preparation, image processing, single particle reconstruction, tomography and model building.
 

The meeting also includes the Diamond Light Source Biological Cryo-Imaging User Meeting for eBIC & B24 and associated satellite meetings for correlative microscopy (eBIC), soft X-ray tomography (B24) & automated live processing for SPA and cryoET (eBIC).

The conference will be held as a hybrid meeting, with the physical event at the EMCC in Nottingham, plus virtual access online via Zoom.
