EPDIC 19
The European Powder Diffraction Conference will be held in Crans Montana in 2026, from the 23rd to the 26th of June.
Zürich School of Crystallography 2026
The Zurich School of Crystallography (ZSC) will take place June 29-July 11 2026 at the University of Zürich, Switzerland. This intensive program focuses on training young researchers from around the world in single-crystal X-ray crystallography, with emphasis on applications in the chemical, molecular, and solid-state sciences. Participants will gain a strong theoretical foundation and extensive hands-on experience in crystallographic methods, including data collection, structure determination, and interpretation of small-molecule crystal structures. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own crystals for analysis using advanced diffractometers at UZH and ETH Zürich. Applications are now open. Deadline: January 15, 2026."
