We are a group dedicated to Chemical Crystallography. The Group exists to promote and support the activities of the Chemical Crystallography community within the UK and Eire. To this end, several regular activities are organized (see here).

Symposium for Bill Clegg

A one-day symposium is to be held to mark the retirement of Bill Clegg (though not from research!), focusing on major aspects of his research career to date.

The symposium will be held at Newcastle University on Thursday 18 March 2010 from 11:00-17:00. Coffee will available from 10:00. Lunch will be provided. There is no fee for attendance, but registration is required.

Further information, including registration details, is available at:

CCDC Prize for Younger Scientists 2010

The prize recognises Stephen's significant contributions to development of high-pressure techniques in chemical crystallography, and also some specific chemical results that have emerged recently through application of these techniques. As an example of Stephen's work, see:

Moggach, Bennett & Cheetham, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (2009), 48, 7087-7089. [Online]

The prize will be awarded on Wednesday April 14^th during the BCA Spring Meeting in Warwick, where Stephen will give a research talk.

BCA Spring Meeting

The 2010 Spring Meeting will be held at the University of Warwick between 12^th and 15^th April 2010 and the theme is "Data Matters". This broad-ranging theme encompasses every aspect of crystallographic study, whilst promoting an interdisciplinary feel for the conference.
