You are cordially invited to participate to the 6th TUNISIAN CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC MEETING (TCM6) by submitting a paper and actively assisting in its work.

TCM6 is intended to provide an excellent opportunity for National, Maghreb and International researchers to make their own work known to a wider audience and to have discussions with other participants. This conference will also be an opportunity to exchange experiences, create and consolidate cooperation between different research structures.

This outstanding conference, organized by the “Tunisian Crystallographic Association”, will take place from 1â€"5 November 2017 in a beautiful and exotic Hotel: El Mouradi Djerba Menzel 4* on Djerba Island, an ecological place, very popular by its palm groves, its beaches and its wetlands populated by various species of migratory birds.

The conference will expand to cover a broad set of research topics about:

• Crystal Structure of Materials, Nanoparticles and Minerals
• Chemical Crystallography
• Cements
• Thin films
• Magnetic order and its consequences
• Dielectrics and multiferroics
• Crystal structure relationships and their applications
• Semiconductor devices and their applications

Before the Opening of the 23rd Meeting, from 05 to 07 September there will be a Workshop on Applications of Crystallography in Engineering.

The French Society of Biophysics and the Biology Discussion Group of the French Association of Crystallography (GTBIO) join forces to promote scientific interactions among researchers whose work lie at the interface between physics and biology. The aim is to bring together students and researchers interested in the fundamental aspects of living mechanisms such as interactions between hosts and pathogens, cell compartmentalization, cell signalling or genomic integrity. Attendees will learn about the latest methods developed in the field of structural biology, molecular physics, spectroscopy and imaging.

The 8th International Conference of the Hellenic Crystallographic Association (HeCrA) and the 11th Conference of the Hellenic Society for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (HSCBB) are jointly organized as HeCrA-HSCBB16.Â

HeCrA-HSCBB16 will take place at the Agricultural University of Athens in October 7-9, 2016.Â

The conference will address key questions and issues in molecular structure and interactions. The Conference is the major event both of HeCrA & HSCBB. It is a forum to communicate state-of-the-art research, interact and establish scientific networks and collaborations.

In particular, it will bring together crystallographers with Bioinformaticians and Computational Biologists for the identification of macromolecular targets and small molecules of pharmaceutical and biotechnological interest and study their interactions.

There will be oral and poster presentations in addition to talks from distinguished invited speakers from Greece and the European Union.Â

The 44th National Seminar on Crystallography (organized under the aegis of Indian Crystallographic Association) will be held at Indian Institute of Science Education and
Research (IISER), Pune. Pune city is considered the cultural capital of
Maharashtra and a hub for research institutes spanning across information
technology (IT), education, management and life sciences.

This year NSC44 is being organized jointly by

National Center for Cell Science (NCCS),

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER),

CSIR-National Chemical Laboratories (CSIR-NCL) and

Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU), Pune.

The meeting will cover diverse aspects of crystallographic research ranging
from life sciences, drug development, small and macromolecular
crystallography, crystal engineering and growth, powder diffraction,
MOFs/COFs, synchrotron.

We are happy to announce VI-th National Crystallographic Symposium (NCS2016) that will be held on October 05-07, 2016, Sofia, Bulgaria.

As you may have already recognized this is will be the sixth "NCS" of the series started in 2009.

We have already started the preparation of the next issue of the conference (submitted manuscripts will be published in the journal “Bulgarian Chemical Communications”, a special issues due April 2017).NCS16 papers will also be online available in full text via the present platform.  You are warmly invited to come and join us!

NCS2016 is held under the auspices of BCS and is the major event on Crystallography, crystal growth, structure analyses and related techniques in Bulgaria. The Symposium aims at the applications of different crystallographic techniques in combination with other methods in the fields of materials sciences, mineralogy, biology, environmental engineering, computational methods etc. Bringing together researchers from different areas NCS16 will provide them with a high-qualified platform for them to share their latest studies and to assist further findings and collaboration.

With passionate participants from the world, NCS2016 Â would be perfect for you to present your research and find collaboration for your future work.

We are very glad to announce the Summer of Crystallography which will take place in the beautiful small town and famous tourist resort of Bol, on the island of Brač, Croatia, in the Bluesun Hotel Elaphusa (4*), from September 21st to October 2nd, 2016. This project includes two international crystallographic meetings, to be held one just after the other.

The event starts with the 24th Croatian-Slovenian Crystallographic Meeting (CSCM24), from September 21st to September 25th, 2016, which is jointly organized by the Croatian Crystallographic Association and the Slovenian Crystallographic Society, under the auspices of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. All the necessary information on the venue, scientific programme, plenary lecturers, abstract submission, registration procedure, social programme, deadlines, accommodation arrangement, arrival to Bol, can be found at the conference web site. All contributions will be presented orally. An interesting half-day excursion to the interior of the island of Brač will be organized for all participants and accompanying persons. It should be mentioned that there is no registration fee for this Meeting.

Since 1992, every year crystallographers from different countries attend the annual Croatian-Slovenian / Slovenian-Croatian Crystallographic Meetings, alternatively in Croatia and Slovenia, to present their work and exchange ideas in multiple areas of research involving crystallography. Most of the participants of the previous meetings have expressed their opinion that these meetings have been very successful in all aspects, scientifically and socially, offering a friendly and domestic atmosphere.

CSCM24 is followed by the 3rd European Crystallography School (ECS3), from September 25th to October 2nd, 2016. The ECS3 is organized by the Croatian Association of Crystallographers and the European Crystallographic Association. All details about the programme, registration, accommodation and important dates of the ECS3 can be found on the web site http://ecs3.ecanews.org/.

After the 29th European Crystallographic Meeting, Rovinj 2015, Croatian crystallographers are very much looking forward to hosting once again colleagues from across the globe.

On behalf of the Croatian Crystallographic Association and the Slovenian Crystallographic Society as well as the Croatian Association of Crystallographers, it is our pleasure to invite our old friends, previous participants as well as newcomers, and especially young scientists, to attend the events of the Summer of Crystallography in Bol. We do hope that you will keep your stay in Bol and in Croatia in a nice memory.
