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 Symmetries in Graphs, Maps, and Polytopes Workshop provides researchers interested in symmetries of discrete objects and structures opportunities to meet, share results, discuss open problems, and start new collaborations. The first SIGMAP workshop was organized by Stephen Wilson in 1998 in Flagstaff, Arizona, and has been held every four years since then. In 2022 we will be hosting the seventh iteration of this conference at the University of Alaska Fairbanks from July 10-16.

Thanks to support from the National Science Foundation, we’ll be able to provide a limited number of domestic participants with support for their travel and participation in the workshop. Priority for the funding will be given to mathematicians from under-represented groups and early career mathematicians.Â

Dear Friends and Colleagues

We are thrilled to announce that the 2020 ACA Summer Course in Chemical Crystallography, to be held at Purdue University on May 31^st to June 7^th, is now open for applications.

The ACA Summer Course in Chemical Crystallography is a week long program that is now well into its third decade of instruction here in the United States. The course is directed towards Single-Crystal Chemical Crystallography and Powder Diffraction techniques, as applicable to small molecule studies and is designed to instruct attendees in the theory and practice of these two aspects of crystallography. Mornings are full with lectures on the theory of the experiment and afternoons and early evenings are covering hands-on workshops.

More information can be found at https://acasummercourse.net/ or https://acasummercourse.net/application/. To submit your application, please visit the address https://acasummercourse.net/2020-application/

Please do not hesitate contacting us at info@acasummercourse.net with any questions you might have

L'association Mécamat tient son colloque national annuel au Centre Paul Langevin du CNRS à Aussois (Savoie) à la fin du mois de janvier. Chaque colloque propose une thématique différente, proposée par une équipe diversifiée. Sur une semaine, le colloque propose un état de l'art exhaustif de cette thématique. Des exposés longs sont présentés par les meilleurs spécialistes nationaux, et de larges espaces réservés pour la discussion.

The European High Pressure Research Group (EHPRG) was established in the sixties of the last century to support a development of both the basic as well as the applied high pressure research by the annual meetings. To create a close contact of all the workers in scientific and technological high pressure disciplines, the wide scope of the EHPRG conferences is traditional and characteristic feature of these meetings. A relatively rapid increase of high pressure activities in almost all areas of Physics, Geosciences, Material Research, Chemistry and namely in Biosciences during the last decades demands a similarly rapid exchange of knowledge in high pressure research and technology.

The European Powder Diffraction Conference, EPDIC, is a biannual conference dedicated to all aspects of the analysis of polycrystalline materials by diffraction methods. Each EPDIC has the aim to highlight the latest developments in powder diffraction including methodology, data analysis and instrumental advances. EPDICs traditionally bring together scientists from institutes, universities and instrumentation companies to discuss the progress in academic and industrial research related to powder diffraction. The 17th edition of EPDIC (EPDIC17) will take place in the town of Šibenik, an emerging star of the Croatian Adriatic coast.

Registration application for this event is now open!

Student registration: 150 € Regular registration: 200 €. The fees include coffee breaks, printed material and five lunches at the University restaurant, located within the Faculty campus, at walking distance from the venue (vegetarian and vegan options available on request). Student fees apply on submission of copy of the student card valid the current academic year. Other registration fees, with the inclusion of accommodation, are also available.

Limited financial support will be available for young participants (students and post-doctoral fellows) depending on the amount of grants available.

The application details and procedures will be announced once the budget is finalised. The financial support that will be provided will be in any case partial and there will be no money transfer: grants will be attributed on site.
The following conditions apply for being eligible to receive a grant

• Funds from IUCr are reserved to applicants registered in the World Directory of Crystallographers. Registration is free of charge but undergoes a preliminary screening at IUCr: be sure to submit your registration well in advance before applying for financial support; your IUCrID is required to apply for financial support.
• Funds from ECA will be attributed to European applicants who must be or become ECA members. Grant receivers will be asked to write a short report about their participation.
• Fund from AFC and SFMC are reserved to French applicants.
• IUCr funds and funds from registration fees will be used to approach as much as possible a country and gender balance.
• All other funds that may be obtained will be used according to the rules imposed by the funding agencies.
• Students are requested to submit a copy of their student card, as well as a recommandation letter by their supervisors, explaining how they will benefit from participation in the school
• A list of publication is mandatory for post-doctoral fellows, optional for students
• A short motivation letter is requested from all applicants

Deadline for application: 31^st March 2019

Visa

Citizens of some countries may need a visa to enter France even for a short trip. Check online if you need a visa. In the affirmative case, the organisers can provide, on request, an invitation letter. Please send your CV, copy of student card and supervisor recommendation (for students) or list of publications.Â
