UK Crystallography Meetings / Schools
Applications are now open for the 20th BCA/CCG Intensive Teaching School in X-ray Structure Analysis, which will run from the 29th March – 6th April 2025 in Durham, UK. The school is intended primarily for younger scientists with some experience of structure analysis who wish to improve their understanding of the underlying principles and practice.
More details about the school and registration can be found at https://bcaccgschool.crystallography.org.uk/.
Registration will close on the 9th of January 2025.
If you have any queries or need further information, please email Natalie Pridmore.

Autumn BCA Meetings
2024 Meeting
The 2024 Autumn meeting will be held jointly with the PCG and the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source in celebration of their 40th anniversary!
On behalf of the ISIS and Diamond Crystallography Groups, the Physical Crystallography Group, and the Chemical Crystal Group, we invite you to the Winter Crystallography Meeting:
Held on 28-29 October 2024 at Milton Hill House, near Didcot.
The abstract submission deadline is Thursday 3 October, and the registration deadline to attend is Thursday 10 October. To register for the meeting please click here.
As you may be aware, this year the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source is celebrating 40 years of producing neutrons for science. In celebration of this anniversary, the ISIS Crystallography Group is hosting an extended Winter Meeting, which will be held jointly with the Physical Crystallography Group (a part of the British Crystallographic Association) and the Chemical Crystallography Group of the BCA over two days.
The meeting is a celebration of structural science using neutron and/or X-ray diffraction and complementary techniques – we aim to put together a diverse program that includes something to interest everyone! We particularly encourage students and early career researchers to contribute short (15 minute) talks in what is a very friendly and supportive environment. Spaces at the poster session will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
The meeting is free to attend (registration, accommodation and meals will be provided), but attendees must cover their own travel costs. The meeting has limited space available so please register early to confirm your place.
Confirmed speakers include:
Andrew Goodwin (University of Oxford)
James Cumby (University of Edinburgh)
Paul Saines (University of Kent)
Mark Senn (University of Warwick)
Sebastian Henke (TU Dortmund)
The meeting will also feature the winner of the 2024 BTM Willis Prize (awarded by the IOP Neutron Scattering Group) and the Malvern Panalytical Thesis Prize (awarded by the Physical Crystallography Group).
Please contact the ISIS User Office if you have any questions.
