Scientific Programme

The program of the meeting is organized as 6 parallel sessions oriented to Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry, Microbiology, so that participants interested in any field of crystallography have their program from the beginning till the end of ECM. Each day will start with two parallel plenary lectures (40 minutes) followed by the six parallel microsymposia. Two poster sessions will be organized on Sunday-Monday and Wednesday-Thursday. Commercial and non-commercial exhibitions are organized parallel to the scientific program. Several workshops (on symmetry, powder diffraction, biological structures, crystal structure determination, crystallographic databases) precede the ECM-18. Related pre- and post-meetings ensure total up to 15 days of scientific program.

ECM has six parallel scientific sections:

A. Structure in Physics and Applied Crystallography
B.
Materials, Materials Science
C.
Structure in Chemistry, Chemical Crystallography, Materials
D.
Structure and Function of Biological Systems
E.
Advanced Methods for Structural Investigations, Structural Methods in Biology
F.
Discussion Meetings, General Crystallography
