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 two satellite meetings for SPT Labtech & eBIC for Industry.

The 7th Microscopy Characterisation of Organic-Inorganic Interfaces (MCOII) meeting will return to an in-person format in 2023 and will be hosted for the first time in North America at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, home of the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy. The transatlantic scientific organizing team of Nadja V. Tarakina (MPIKG, Germany) and Kathryn Grandfield (McMaster University, Canada) have put together an exciting two-day programme. As usual, the first day will be more general, covering a broad range of microscopy approaches (correlative microscopy solutions, in-situ liquid microscopy methods, low-voltage electron microscopy and many more) in the context of imaging hybrid and soft matter.On the second day, a special Focus Lecture Series, entitled "Multi-dimensional and multiscale microscopy of organic-inorganic interface" will cover a more-detailed range of lectures on tomographic methods spanning light, X-ray and electron microscopy, as well as atom probe tomography and in situ electron microscopy/tomography. This conference will bring together world-leading experts in microscopy, highlighting the latest achievements, new opportunities and outstanding challenges in probing beam-sensitive and hybrid materials and their interfaces.

The discovery of quasicrystals, over four decades ago, put an end to the age-old crystallographic paradigm that long-range order is synonymous with periodicity. It opened a new challenging research field, which is still pursued by an active and interdisciplinary scientific community worldwide. Great progress has been made, particularly in recent years, in understanding the mathematics, geometry, and physical behavior of quasicrystals, while the ever-growing list of diverse experimental systems, exhibiting aperiodic long-range order, keeps posing new and challenging questions and puzzles. Join us, this coming June, on the campus of Tel Aviv University, near the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean, for an exciting international meeting on quasicrystals! Learn about the latest discoveries! Share your own work and new results! Interact with the rest of our diverse scientific community! And, enjoy the sites and scenes of Israel!!

The 20th International Conference on Crystal Growth and Epitaxy (ICCGE-20) will be the latest in a sequence that started with ICCG-1 in Boston, MA, USA in 1966, which marked the formation of the crystal growth community as an independent discipline rather than subsidiary to a number of other fields. The key principle is that the theory and practice of crystal growth is common across a range of materials and applications and that we have much to share with one another.

It will provide sessions for presentation and discussion regarding recent research and development activities in all aspects of crystal growth, epitaxy, characterization and applications including both general sessions and special topical symposia.

The abstract submission deadline is 31 January 2023.Â

The first edition of the Puxano Talks, Emerging technologies in Structural Biology will take place on February 17th in Otterburcht (Ghent, Belgium) and is being organized by Puxano in partnership with the VSC (Vlaams Supercomputing Center) and the OpenFold consortium.

The talks will cover some of the latest tech advances in Cryo-EM. The first session will delve into the optimization of grids to effectively tackle challenging proteins, while the second session will examine the impact of the new software for predicting protein structures on Cryo-EM, with a focus on the open-source initiative OpenFold and its integration into different stages of the process.

The Southern African Powder Diffraction Conference will be directed at solid state scientists from chemistry, biology, physics, materials science and related fields such as crystallography, spectroscopy, nano-technology and catalysis. The scientific sessions will include invited presentations and contributed oral presentations as well as a poster session.

On 16 and 17 April a Topas workshop will be presented, followed by the conference from 17 to 21 April 2023.

BCA CCG Autumn meeting 2022

Going beyond the data for chemical crystallographers

Registration for the Chemical Crystallography Group Autumn meeting is now live! The meeting will be held online on Wednesday 16^th November 2022. For details and registration, visit: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/chemical-crystallography-group-autumn-meeting-2022-tickets-425715124397

The British Zeolite Association (BZA) was founded in 1977 to provide a forum where zeolite scientists could meet to review and share their latest findings. Today the (ordered) nanoporous materials community in the UK numbers several hundred active research scientists and engineers, from both industry and the academic sector, who reflect the great variety of applications of micro- and mesoporous materials, from catalysis and petrochemical processing to chemical separations, detergents and environmental clean-up.

The major event of the BZA's year is the annual meeting, which brings together scientists from the UK and overseas to present and discuss the latest research in the area. Strong emphasis is given to presentations from research students and young postdoctoral workers.

The MLZ is delighted to host the Eighth European Conference on Neutron Scattering after successful events atÂ

• Interlaken 1996
• Budapest 1999
• Montpellier 2003
• Lund 2007
• Prag 2011Â
• Zaragoza 2015
• St. Petersburg 2019

The conference is organized on behalf of the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA) and is one of the most important scientific events in the field of neutron research.Â

The conference will take place at the TUM Department of Mechanical Engineering and the new Science Congress Center Munich - both located in the immediate vicinity of the MLZ at Garching.Â

After a warm Welcome on March 19th, we are looking forward to four days of thrilling talks, pleasant posters, and decent discussions of the European neutron scattering community between March 20th and 23rd!Â

Â

The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars and students of all areas of crystallography-related science to share their recent research findings. The conference will also promote the interest and understanding of crystallography with respect to teaching and research in Bangladesh. It is expected that regional and international scientists will join the conference, which will allow Bangladeshi crystallographers to interact and collaborate with foreign participants. The Organizing Committee may arrange one or two sessions in hybrid mode.

Abstract submission deadline: 15 October 2022
