The 2022 Gordon Research Conference on Crystal Engineering (GRC-CE) is a biannual meeting. The 2022 GRC-CE will bring together organic, inorganic, physical, computational chemists, as well as pharmaceutical scientists, materials scientists, data scientists, and others in a uniquely and highly interactive environment to discuss latest results at the cutting edge of the field. The program for the 2022 GRC-CE GRC includes sessions on Order, Disorder and Defects, Crystal Assembly, Polymorphs and Mixtures, Crystals Under Pressure, Crystal Reactivity, Pharmaceuticals and Cocrystals, Big Data and Informatics, Porosity and Open Framework Materials, and Engineering Across Different Length Scales.Â

An associated Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) prior to the GRC-CE conference ensures that young scientist are well represented as attendees at the GRC-CE. The highly interactive format of both the GRC and GRS ensures it will be a valuable experience for the next generation of researchers in the field. Â

The 30th Annual Meeting of the German Crystallographic Society (DGK 30), which will take place in the historical main building of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, will feature presentations and discussions of recent and exciting results of research on crystallographic topics.

Subjecting matter to extreme conditions reveals a multitude of fascinating phenomena, and is applicable to a wide range of disciplines. From the extremophiles that exist in the deepest depths of our oceans to the exotic new materials that are made when atoms are pushed ever closer together, understanding the structure of materials at extreme conditions affects Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geoscience and Material Science. In order to achieve its goals, high pressure research has been always at the vanguard of technical progress. It is a discipline in which equipment plays a particularly important role. State-of-the-art diamond anvil cells can now achieve megabar ranges of pressure, millions of times atmospheric pressure, with this beaten by an order of magnitude in dynamic compression experiments. In this manner, scientists are able to mimic the conditions in the interiors of giant planets. Nature is even more ambitious, as in the stars petapascal pressures (the order of tens to hundreds billion atmospheres) are reached. In the laboratory, we can even create conditions of pressure, temperature and magnetic fields that are not found naturally, allowing us to complement nature to explore more exotic phases of matter.

Therefore, the course will cover broad ground in the application of extreme conditions crystallography. The topics will span from fundamentals of high-pressure single crystal and powder diffraction, to presenting the many flavors of static and dynamic compression, to reviews of sources for extreme conditions work (synchrotrons, neutrons and free electron lasers). Complementary experimental (Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, inelastic scattering) and computational methods will also be discussed. Diffraction analysis on the structure of liquids, glasses and nanocrystalline materials as well as multigrain crystallography will also be introduced. The lectures will be harmonized with the related sessions of interactive tutorials, providing hands-on experience to the attendees. These workshops will be focused on basic laboratory skills and the elements of data processing software related to the high pressure.

The 22nd American Conference on Crystal Growth and Epitaxy (ACCGE-22)

will be held jointly with

The 20th U.S. Biennial Workshop on Organometallic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (OMVPE-20)

These jointly-held conferences are premier forums to discuss the modern advances in all aspects of crystal growth, both in the bulk and as epitaxial films. We will continue the tradition of numerous ACCGE and OMVPE meetings and bring together the topmost experts in the field from industry, academia, and government laboratories. Joining the two conferences affords an exceptional opportunity to present and discuss original results and provides a venue for newcomers to embrace new advances in science and technology.Â

Plenary Speakers will be Shuji Nakamura (UC, Santa Barbara) 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics and Valeria Molinero (University of  Utah)
