Scientific Programme - Timetable

[Monday 25 August] [Tuesday 26 August] [Wednesday 27 August] [Thursday 28 August]

 

Each day will comprise two plenary lectures plus either three microsymposium sessions or two microsymposium sessions plus a poster session. (Posters will be on display for the whole of the four days of the scientific programme.) Each microsymposium session will comprise five parallel microsymposia - one from each Focus Area:
Focus Area 1: Biological and Macromolecular Crystallography
Focus Area 2: Materials and Minerals
Focus Area 3: Experimental and Computational Techniques
Focus Area 4: Chemical Crystallography
Focus Area 5: Special techniques
Please note: In general, the microsymposia within a particular Focus Area are scheduled in numerical order. However, a few have been been moved to avoid clashes between similar interest microsymposia in different Focus Areas or to accommodate other commitments of some chairs and/or speakers.
Also due to limited interest and support, some microsymposia have been merged or cancelled and some popular microsymposia will be extended to a second session.
