The 27th meeting of the European Crystallographic Association (ECM27) will take place in Bergen, Norway from 6–11th August 2012.
The program committee have organised a rich scientific program of microsymposia and keynote lectures, with invited talks by CrystEngComm Editorial Board member Mark Spackman (University of Western Australia), Neil Champness (University of Nottingham, UK), Paola Gilli (University of Ferrara, Italy), and 2011 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, Dan Shechtman (Technion, Israel Institute of Technology) – read my recent interview with Dan here.
