Congratulations to the RSC Prize Winners at 4th Annual UK Porous Materials Conference!

The Annual UK Porous Materials Conference (UKPorMat), now in its 4th year, was held at Cardiff University on the 1st and 2nd of July 2019. The meeting, organised and chaired by the committee members of the RSC Porous Materials Interest Group, aims to bring together researchers working in the expanding field of porous materials, which includes metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), porous organic cages, porous organic polymers, polymers of intrinsic microporosity and much more.

The Royal Society of Chemistry was delighted to be a part of the event, sponsoring a number of poster and talk prizes:

•  Alexander Thom (University of Glasgow) was awarded the CrystEngComm Poster Prize
•  Giulia Schukraft (Imperial College London) was awarded the ChemComm Poster Prize

Congratulations to the CrystEngComm poster prize winners at British Crystallographic Association Spring Meeting 2019

The 2019 British Crystallographic Association Spring meeting was held at the University of Nottingham on Monday 15th – Thursday 18th April. The British Crystallographic Association was formed in 1982 and is the UK national association for crystallography. It is made up of four subject based groups: biological structures; chemical crystallography; industrial applications & physical crystallography, and the interdisciplinary Young Crystallographers group. With over 600 members, the BCA’s primary aims work to promote crystallography in research and the education of young people in the methods, possibilites and achievements of crystallographic science.

The annual Spring Meeting brings together all four subject groups and the Young Crystallographers group for a three day conference in the UK to encourage a strong interaction and exchange of ideas among post-graduate students and members.

Georgia Scurfield, University of Oxford, CrystEngComm Poster Prize Winner

 

CrystEngComm sponsored two poster prizes at this year’s meeting which were awarded to:

Georgia Scurfield, University of Oxford, for the poster entitled:

Furthering our understanding of modulation in molecular structures

Aneesa Al-Ani, University of Bath, for the poster entitled:

Engineering a new access route to metastable polymorphs with electrical confinement for enhanced pharmaceutical properties

 

The winners received a journal certificate and a book voucher.

CrystEngComm sends hearty congratulations to the winners!
